Who is Second Woodcutter?

The Second Woodcutter joins the First Woodcutter in sympathy for the fleeing lovers, saying that the community "ought to let them go." He vacillates as to the success of the lovers' escape attempt, saying at one moment that one never escapes payment for a transgression ("But blood that sees the light of day is drunk up by the earth."), and at another that they might just be able to avoid punishment ("There are many clouds and it would be easy for the moon not to come out").
