Scene I.

—A Heath in Hampshire.—Dunstan and Gurmo in flight
Dunstan.
The night shall shield us like a raven's wing.
What hear'st thou in the wind?

Gurmo.
A moaning cry.

Dunstan.
Thou faint'st with hunger.

Gurmo.
Can I fast so long
And not be hungry?

Dunstan.
'Tis a wolf that cries,
And he is hungry too. Make forward still.

Gurmo.
I see a light.

Dunstan.
Hist! in the lull of the wind
I hear the stroke of hammers. On apace!
It is a blacksmith's forge. I'll harbour there.
