Young Leper (striking him).
Thou fool!
(To a fourth leper.)
Come dance!
4th Leper.
Be still!
At noon to eat raw turnips, then at night
To have the Queen to sleep with in the straw!
Ha, ha! It makes me laugh!
A Redhaired Leper.
King Mark shall give
Us wine to celebrate our wedding feast!
Young Leper (dancing).
Oh, brother, come and dance with me!
A Sixth Leper.
I want
To look at her and then get drunk!
Young Leper.
Come, then,
And dance with me, my little brother, dance!
Iwein (coming from the gate).
Be still, and stand in order by the steps,
That we may see her when the hangman brings
Her forth.
1st Leper (sits down on the ground).
I will not stand.
