                            My way
Lies past it.

Einar.

Past? What, further?

Brand.

Beyond, beyond my home.

Einar.

                        You are

Brand.


[Smiling.]


          A mission-preacher, say.
I wander like the woodland hare,
And where I am, my home is there.

Einar.

And whither is your last resort?

Brand.


[Sternly and quickly.]


Inquire not!

Einar.

             Wherefore?

Brand.


[Changing his tone.]


                        Ah,—then know,
The ship that stays for you below
Shall bear me also from the port.

Einar.

Hurrah! My bridal-courser true
Think, Agnes, he is coming too!
