Str. Jester (calling through the grating).
Holla!
King Mark! Holla!

Dinas.
What's that!

Mark (rising).
Who storms outside
My door? Such noises in the night I will
Not brook! Who's there?

[Ugrin runs to the grating.]

Str. Jester.
A jester, King; a poor
And witless fool. Let me come in! I'll crack
New jokes to make thee laugh!—Let me come in.

Ugrin.
A fool!

Gimella.
How came he here?

Brangaene.
He startled me!

Iseult.
Indeed we weary of Ugrin's stale jests.

Str. Jester.
I'm a poor jester that would come to thee,
So let me in. King Mark.
