Knowest thou where dwells an exiled man?
KAGEKIYO
An exile though he be, what is his name?
SERVANT
The Boist’rous Kagekiyo is he called,
And of the Taira house, a warrior.
KAGEKIYO
Yes, yes, I think that I have heard of him,
Though being blind the man I’ve never seen.
Miserable, his honourable state!
To hear of which stirs pity in my breast.
Pray then inquire elsewhere the full account.
SERVANT
Then hereabouts he does not seem to be.
