Act 3 — SCENE II
Reading edition
The King dreams a dream and forgets it. He calls all of his wise men and demands that they tell him what his dream was and also interpret it. The wise men declare that this is an impossibility and refuse to obey. Nebuchadnezzar is furious and orders that they all be put to death.
Daniel then comes before the King and asks that the King give him time that he may interpret the dream. The King grants this.
