Scene 5

Three armed men. Jeppe.

Jeppe—Ah! Ah! Now you see, my good fellows, what kind of wife I have to live with.

Soldiers—You don’t deserve any other treatment, for you are a felon. (They take Jeppe away.)

Jeppe—What harm have I done?

Soldiers—You shall find that out soon enough when the court is held. (They bind him.)
