Who is the girl<br />

Who is given out to be Miss Munk!<br />

WALKENDORFF.<br />

My niece, sire! I came home<br />

From abroad with her, as a ward,<br />

My brother left her to me at his death,<br />

When he gave up the ghost <strong>in</strong> Strasborg. The girl<br />

Was newly left motherless, she was<br />

About the same age as the lost child,<br />

And called Elisabeth, like her.<br />

KING.<br />

Ah! You see,<br />

How the work of darkness seeks the light?<br />

I ought to punish you, punish you all,<br />

But I shall let mercy pass for justice....<br />

Now, Ebbesen! Which of us swore the truth?<br />

Will you still not marry Miss Munk?<br />

EBBESEN.<br />

Forgive me, my liege!<br />

Be happy!<br />

(He unites FLEMMING and ELISABETH.)<br />

KING (unites EBBESEN and AGNETE).<br />

My wish applies also to Mr. Flemm<strong>in</strong>g<br />

And Miss Walkendorff.<br />

ALL.<br />

Long live the k<strong>in</strong>g!<br />
