Hold the gaze, the gaze is important. The gaze is The difference between lying dead in a pool Of blood as black bodied flies buzz around the Sticky mess

Your gaze I say is the difference Between that and a teacup offered with a Biscuit at 11 o'clock

Do you see how important it is to

Have a steady gaze?

Herod monologue 2

/ ∑

U

I am not afraid. Not afraid of dark skies Overly bright stars - star, let us be precise

We are talking of one pinpointed light beam Am I correct? A single star that A child could abolish with its sticky hand

∑ ∑ ∑ ∑ ∑ ∑ ∑

Held aloft like so (does so) see? I can - Could do it and I am no child See one hand held aloft -

I no longer See the light If a star Can cause such a stir as simple as a Paddle in water, as an oar through water

Chorus member helps Herod on with jacket

Hope is corrosive - have I told you this before? Interrupt me if I have said this before. Corrosive. It leads to change. Change which is uncalled for, unasked for. I do not ask for it so do not give it To me.

This star is uncalled for. It portends you say, portends a child? A child Born. Well that is of no consequence to me Children are born every day. This day for example

This star, uncalled for, portends, many children Will be born - you may contradict me here Do not let it be said that I cannot handle Opposition.

Well done your Gazes, your collective gaze is steady, that is Good that is useful it tells me there is no Contradiction.

Herod (spoken)

Throughout Song 4 Herod chooses a handkerchief
