Yes, you can now bear witness to this poor
Mistrusting wretch that you have no regrets.
Speak out your true experience.

CARLOMAN.

[catching his breath] I am sad.
[to Zacharias] I cannot speak with this petitioner
Trembling beside me: give him judgment first,
And then hear my complaint.

ZACHARIAS.

[sternly] No: let him hear—
What have you against God?

CARLOMAN.

I have not found Him.

ZACHARIAS.

You fast? You have been diligent in prayer?

CARLOMAN.
