Peer Gynt

Translated by Robert Farquharson Sharp

Act IV

Scene 3


(Night. An encampment of Moroccan troops on the edge of the desert. Watch-fires, with soldiers resting by them.)

A SLAVE (enters, tearing his hair). Gone is the Emperor’s milk-white charger!

ANOTHER SLAVE (enters, rending his garments). The Emperor’s sacred robes are stolen!

AN OFFICER (enters). A hundred stripes upon the foot-soles for all who fail to catch the robber!

(The troopers mount their horses, and gallop away in every direction.)
