 LS
 * Are you such a lad, eh?

PEER
 * You shall judge for yourselves!

FIRST GIRL
 * To the hut! To the hut!

SECOND GIRL
 * We have mead!

PEER
 * Let it flow!

THIRD GIRL
 * No cot shall stand empty this Saturday night!

SECOND GIRL [kissing him].
 * He sparkles and glisters like white-heated iron.

THIRD GIRL [doing likewise].
 * Like a baby's eyes from the blackest tarn.

PEER [dancing in the midst of them].
 * Heavy of heart and wanton of mind.
 * The eyes full of laughter, the throat of tears!

THE GIRLS [making mocking gestures towards the mountain-tops,
 * screaming and singing].
 * Trond of the Valfjeld! Bard and Kare!
 * Troll-pack!-To-night will you sleep in our arms?

[They dance away over the heights, with PEER GYNT in their midst.]
