Many shall be smelt out and perish, and in the hearts of many others there will be grief and anguish and fury against the king Twala.

When the dance is over, then I will speak to some of the great chiefs, who in turn, if I can win them over, will speak to their regiments.

I shall speak to the chiefs softly at first, and bring them to see that thou art indeed the king, and I think that by to-morrow's light thou shalt have twenty thousand spears at thy command.

And now I must go and think, and hear, and make ready.

After the dance is done, if I am yet alive, and we are all alive, I will meet thee here, and we can talk.
