Сторінка 124 - JEPPE. I'm glad of that. I wish he could become a pastor! PEER. But a deacon first. JEPPE. What is the second subject? PEER. That is Rhetorica, which in Danish means the Ritual. The third subject must be written wrong, or else it must be in French, because if it were Latin, I could read it easily.
Сторінка 129 - I can hold my own; and if he wants to have a singing match with me, he will get the worst of it. I once had a singing contest with ten deacons and beat every one of them, for I outsang them in the Credo, all ten of them. Ten years ago I was offered the position of choirmaster in Our Lady's School, but I did n't want it.
Сторінка 147 - JESPER. Listen, my dear Monsieur Montanus Berg. I have heard that Learned folk have such extraordinary ideas. Is it true that people in Copenhagen think the earth is round? Here on the hill no one believes it; for how can that be, when the earth looks perfectly flat? MONTANUS. That is because the earth is so large that one cannot notice its roundness. JESPER. Yes, it is true, the earth is large; it is almost a half of the universe. But listen, Monsieur, how many stars will it take to make a moon?...
Сторінка 170 - You scholars spend the time disputing whether the earth is round, square, or eightcornered, and we study how to keep the earth in repair. Does Mossur see now that our studies are more useful and important than his, and, therefore, Niels Christensen is the most learned man here in the village, because he has improved his farm so that an...
Сторінка 146 - ... philosophy, he attacks my honor. I am fond of Mademoiselle Lisbed, but my Metaphysica and my Logica have priority. Nille. Oh, my dear son, what did I hear? Are you engaged to two other girls in Copenhagen ? That will be a bad business in the matrimonial courts. Montanus. You don't understand me; I didn't mean it in that way. They are not two girls, but two sciences. Nille. Oh, that is another matter. But here comes the bailiff. Don't be angry any more. Montanus. I can't be angry with him, for...
Сторінка 33 - JEPPE. Are you the bailiff's wife? WIFE. Yes, your lordship, I am. JEPPE [takes her by the breasts]. You are pretty. Would you like to sleep with me to-night? WIFE. My lord has only to command, for I am his servant. JEPPE [to the Bailiff]. Do you consent to my lying with your wife to-night? BAILIFF. I thank his lordship for doing my humble house the honor. JEPPE. Here! Bring her a chair; she shall eat with me. [She sits at the table, and eats and drinks with him. He becomes jealous of the Secretary.]...
Сторінка 52 - The scepter of dominion as soon becomes a scourge. Let once despotic power drive justice from the realm, In every peaceful hamlet a Nero grasps the helm. Could Phalaris or Caius in days of yore have been More merciless a tyrant than him we here have seen? Before the seat of justice had time his warmth...
Сторінка 144 - Welcome home, my dear son. Our kind friend Jeronimus was no doubt very glad to see our honored son in good health after so long an absence. MONTANUS. I have spoken neither to Jeronimus nor to his daughter, on account of that fellow with whom I got into a dispute. NILLE. What kind of a man was he? Perhaps it was the schoolmaster. MONTANUS. No, it was a stranger, who is going away to-day. I know him, although I have not associated with him in Copenhagen. I am annoyed almost to death by these people...
