The opening
I
Beatrix Puella, Emanuel, Eusebius
Beat. May Jesus Christ awake you from the sleep of all vice. O you boys, are you ever going to wake up to-day?
Euseb. I don’t know what has fallen on my eyes. I seem to have them full of sand.
Beat. That is always your morning song—quite an old one. I shall open both the wooden and the glass windows, so that the morning shall strike brightly on your eyes from both. Get up! Get up!
The whole book is in the Sphinx app.
