<P 57>
[#A Jutish farmstead, both within and without. To the left a group of#
#trees ; to thc right a shed, in which# COLGRIN, #an elderly man, is#
#asleep among the straw. Enter# QUICHELM. #He hammers at the#
#farm door.#]
QUICHELM. Hyo, there! Who's awake? Where's
The welcome of women for warfarers?
Where's my Wodenfearing mother?
Hey! hey! Spare some sleep for us:
Leave us half a snore and a stale dream.
Here's your battery of males come home!
Our bones are aching; we're as wet
As bogworms. Who's alive in there?
COLGRIN. There's an infernal clatter. What's the matter?
Foof!. Straw in the nostrils. That' . . .
