You praise deep drinking—you ...
For shame! A churchman! But ...
How thin!

1ST SERVANT.

What eyes!

CARLOMAN.

Shall I have long to wait? Is Pepin ill,
Or is he grown luxurious? I would say
That I remember how your King is famed
For industry. He does not lie abed?

1ST SERVANT.

No, father.

CARLOMAN.

Call me brother if you will.
Why do you choke with laughter? I am ready
To laugh with you, to laugh to very tears
At what I am and have been. Do not hide
A thing so good and bright as laughter—Eh?

2ND SERVANT.
