PEER
- What stuff is this?
VON EBERKOPF
- We now see gathered
- in glory all the Gyntish host
- of wishes, appetites, and desires-!
MONSIEUR BALLON [admiringly].
- So this is being Monsieur Gynt!
VON EBERKOPF [in the same tone].
- This I call being Gynt with honour!
PEER
- But tell me-?
MONSIEUR BALLON
- Don't you understand?
PEER
- May I be hanged if I begin to!
MONSIEUR BALLON
- What? Are you not upon your way
- to join the Greeks, with ship and money-?
PEER [contemptuously].
- No, many thanks! I side with strength,
- and lend my money to the Turks.
MONSIEUR BALLON
- Impossible!
