Morituri Three One-Act Plays

Excerpt from Morituri: Three One-Act Plays The scene represents the King's tent. The curtains are open in the background and permit a view through the camp of the Gothic warriors, over toward Vesuvius, and the distant sea, which shine in the splendour of the setting sun. On the left stands the rudely constructed throne of the King. In the centre, a table with seats around it. On the right, the King's couch, consisting of skins pieced together; above, a rack holding many kinds of weapons. Link torches on the right and left. First Scene. Two Camp Watchers. First Camp Watcher. Ho thou! Art thou fallen asleep? Second Camp Watcher. Why should I be fallen asleep? First Camp Watcher. Because thou leanest so limber upon thy spear, bent like the bow of a Hun.
