:"Please, my lord … spare a coin for a wretched beggar?"
:'''You're not a wretched beggar. You're the victim of an enchantment.
:"Oh, but I am wretched! Don't you see my filthy fingernails? My oozing sores? I am a victim, it's true—but not of an enchantment. No, I suffer a terrible curse! Do not ask me my name. I have none. All I have is a tale of pride and sorrow."
:Can you tell me this tale?
:"I haven't the heart to speak it aloud. Some cruel scribe committed my woes to paper, but I can't bear to read them. This is no mere fable—it is my life! Read it if you must. Just please, spare me the pain of hearing it."
:I'll find this story.

After reading his story:
:"Have you come for another look at nameless sorrow? Look, then …."
:You have a name: Wheedle, the Beggar Prince.
:"Wheedle … a name that breaks even the hardest hearts. Most people don't notice us lowly beggars, let alone learn our names. I thank you for that. But names cannot fill an empty belly. Please … mercy. Spare a coin?"
:Here's some coin [ ]
::"Such generosity! Mara bless you!"
:No, I refuse.
::"What? No, you can't do that. No mortal can see my wretched state and not be moved to pity. Unless you aren't mortal? It's you, isn't it? Blessed Namira! You've come back to free me from my torment!"
::What are you talking about?
::"Oh great Namira! Sweet Prince of Decay!  I thought I'd never see you again! Please, free me from your gifts. I can't bear them any longer!"
::I am not Namira.
:::"You must be! Only Namira can withstand the power of my suffering! I beg you … restore me to my former self. I wish to be the Beggar Prince no longer!"
:::Very well. I will use my power to remove your gifts.
::[Lie] Yes, it is I, Daedric Prince Namira. I have decided to reclaim my gifts from you.
:::"Oh, thank you! My gratitude is beyond measure!"
:::I shall release you from my clutches.'''

Whether you tell him you're Namira or not, he'll ask for a blessing:
:::Pavo Maria: "Undo what has been done, I beg you!"
::: 
:::Pavo Maria: "Yes! I feel …. I feel … not much different, actually. What is going on?"
:::Pavo Maria: "This is confusing."

After "curing" him, he'll say:
:''"That was it? I don't feel cured at all. I feel the same. I'm confused."
:That's because you were never diseased at all. You aren't the Beggar Prince. You are Pavo.
:"No, no, you must be wrong. Look! I'm covered in rags and sores. Just look at me! Look … oh. Wait, what am I doing? Who are you?"
:You were under a powerful illusion enchantment. I'm helping Erudil find a way to reverse it.
:"Erudil. Yes, I remember! My frumpy, boring friend. I should find him. Maybe I can help!"
:He's in the center of the courtyard. I'll come with you.

Speak to him at the center of the garden:
:"Let's get to work on this curse! I've had enough begging for one lifetime. Just look at my knees! It will take days to wash out these stains!"

Later, Glardir immobilizes everyone in the area and disappears in a puff of smoke:
:"Oh no, poor Glardir. You have to stop her before she does something dangerous!"''

After the quest, he'll say:
:''"I'm so glad everything is back to normal."''
