Hans. Blessed the one who loves and trusts! Marie. A flatterer and hypocrite Kezal. He is a second Salomo! (aside.) Or a gallows bird! (He goes.) Marie (resigned). I have no other wishes now, Hans. The old ones, they make me rejoice! (to Marie.) Micha's son will be your husband! Marie. Get out! I can't look at you!

SCENE VIII. (Agnes, Kathinka, Kruschina, Micha, Kezal. Chorus and Former.) Chorus. Gladly we come, quickly we come! Maire (aside). The treachery will I avenge! (aloud, with force.) I'll gladly do what you desire! Chorus. Long live the bridal pair! Hans (stepping up). Yes, it will all go merrily Agnes and Micha. What do I see? Why, it's Hans! Hans. Yes, father and mother, here am I, Kezal. Oh! Shall I believe or not, Hans. My parents recognize me! (looking at Kezal and his stepmother.) The best is: I am still alive!
