Nils Lykke.
What now?
Nils Stensson.
The picture—! Sure 'tis I myself!
Nils Lykke.
'Tis old Sten Sture, even as he lived and moved in his youthful years.
Nils Stensson.
Sten Sture!—And the likeness—? And—said you not I spoke the truth, when I called myself a Count's son? Was't not so?
Nils Lykke.
So it was.
Nils Stensson.
Ah, I have it, I have it! I am
Nils Lykke.
You are Sten Sture's son, good Sir!
Nils Stensson.
[With the quiet of amazement.] I Sten Sture's son!
Nils Lykke.
On the mother's side too your blood is noble. Peter Kanzler spoke not the truth, if he said that a poor peasant woman was your mother.
