STRÅMAND
(fortsættende til Anna, der næsten søger at undgå ham).
Af disse grunde, kære unge barn,
af disse grunde, hentet fra fornuften,
ja fra moralen og tildels fra skriften,
De indser nu, at slig en meningsskiften
må kaldes ganske greben ud af luften.
STRAWMAN
[continuing, to ANNA, who faintly tries to escape].
From these considerations, daughter mine,
From these considerations, buttressed all
With reason, morals, and the Word Divine,
You now perceive that to desert your Call
Were absolutely inexcusable.
