Thus I gathered an army about me. I conceived and I executed.
I hurled the enemy to the ground and tore the sword from his hand. I killed the lion that sprang upon you to devour you.
That is what I did. Has anyone anything to say?
The King: That is what you did, Tête-d'or.
The Tribune of the People: Well and good. But you didn't do it alone.
Tête-d'or: I say that I did it all alone,
I alone! I did it! I alone! Not another, but I!
—What will you give me, then, as a proper recompense?
—What will you give me
That you have not received from my hands?
