[KURT, JACOBUS, and the others appear.]

KURT
Peter the Sacristan! Give by the bell.
What means this clangor?

PETER the Sacristan
They're bewitched! bewitched!
[Still pulling and shouting.]

URSULA
They're gone!

KURT
Thy wits!

OLD CLAUS
They're gone--they're gone--they're gone!

PETER the Sacristan
The children!

URSULA
--With the Piper! They're bewitched!
I told ye so.

OLD CLAUS
--I saw it with these eyes!
He piped away the children.
