The gods are drowsy.

OOGNO

If they awake not soon and make this city worthy again of our order I for one shall forsake the calling and buy a shop and sit at ease in the shade and barter for gain.

THAHN

You will keep a shop?

THE ATTENDANT

The guests are all assembled in the Chamber of Banquets.

QUEEN ATHARLIA

What was he talking about?

QUEEN OXARA

He was talking about the armies on the frontier.

QUEEN ATHARLIA

Ah! That reminds me of that young captain in the Purple Guard. They say that he loves Linoora.

QUEEN OXARA

Oh, Thearkos! Linoora probably said that.

THE IDOL-GUARD

I do not like those things the Prophet said--It would be terrible if they were true--It would be very terrible if they were false, for he prophesies in the name of Illuriel--Ah! They are singing the wine-song, the chant of the nobles. The Queens are singing. How merry they are!--I should like to be a noble and sit and look at the Queens.

THE VOICE OF A SENTINEL

Guard, turn out.

Turn out the guard there! Wake up, you accursed pigs!

A VOICE CRYING

To the armory! To the armory! Reinforce! The Slaves have come to the armory. Ah! mercy!

KING ARGIMENES

Go you to the slave-fields. Say that the palace-guard is dead and that we have taken the armory. Ten of you, hold the armory till our men come from the slave-fields. Throw down Illuriel.

THE IDOL-GUARD

You must take my life before you touch my god.

A SLAVE

We only want your pike.

KING ARGIMENES

Illuriel is fallen and broken asunder.

ZARB

Immortal Illuriel is dead at last.

KING ARGIMENES

My god was broken into three pieces, but Illuriel is broken into seven. The fortunes of Darniak will prevail over mine no longer. Come, we will arm all the slaves.

KING DARNIAK

My throne is broken. Illuriel is turned against me.

AN ATTENDANT

Illuriel is fallen.

ALL

Illuriel is fallen, is fallen.

KING DARNIAK

What envious god or sacrilegious man has dared to do this thing?

THE IDOL-GUARD

Illuriel is fallen.

KING DARNIAK

Have men been here?

THE IDOL-GUARD

Is fallen.

KING DARNIAK

What way dg time the boys stood gazing out over the water, and they were still there when Lord Hastings approached.

"Good morning," he greeted them. "How do you think you will like life on the ocean wave?"
