to attest the truth like an honest man; when
they all shouted aloud, that he suffered
innocently, and had acted like a true Swede. But
the procession was driven forward through the
streets without stopping, and at night Niels
Sture was conducted to prison.

King Erik sits in his royal palace: he orders
the torches and candles to be lighted, but they
are of no avail – his thoughts’ scorpions sting
his soul.

"I have again liberated Niels Sture," he
mutters; "I have had placards put up af
every street-corner, and let the heralds proclaim
that no one shall dare to speak otherwise than
well of Niels Sture! I have sent him on an
honourable mission to a foreign court, in order
to sue for me in marriage! He has had
reparation enough made to him; but never
will he, nor his mighty race, forget the derision
and shame I have made him suffer. They will
all betray me – kill me!"

And King Erik commands that all Sture’s
kindred shall be made prisoners.
