- We are deeds;
- thou shouldst have achieved us!
- Doubt, the throttler,
- has crippled and riven us.
- On the Day of Judgment
- we'll come a-flock,
- and tell the story,-
- then woe to you!
PEER
- Rascal-tricks! How dare you debit
- what is negative against me?

ASE'S VOICE [far away].
- Fie, what a post-boy!
- Hu, you've upset me!
- Snow's newly fallen here;-
- sadly it's smirched me.-
- You've driven me the wrong way.
- Peer, where's the castle?
- The Fiend has misled you
- with the switch from the cupboard!
PEER

- With the devil's sins upon you,
- soon you'll faint upon the hillside;-
- hard enough to bear one's own sins.
