Gavrillo: [thumbing his axe] I am tired of spilling blood. I fight one day, then brood for two. I wanted to go to the Volga, play about with my battle-axe... but the brooding won me over. Vasily: Go be a monk, then. Gavrillo: [annoyed] I am thinking about matters of the heart. If my wishes are not met, I may well go to the monastery. Ignat: Like a bear, to slaughter calfs on the altar. [Пошёл медведь в монастырь — в алтаре телят драть.]

Domash: Have pity on the orphans. Forget the affront, Alexander. Gavrilo: Rise for Novgorod! Alexandr: I shall rise to avenge the suffering of Russia. Domash: No truer words have ever been spoken. Rise to her defence! Alexandr: Defence? I do not know how to defend. We shall smite them with all our power!
