As charm to lull the winds and calm ensure;

Ah, may there come the good to which our hopes aspire!”

Strophe V

Then, when he his spirit proud

To the yoke of doom had bowed,

While the blasts of altered mood

O'er his soul swept like a flood,

Reckless, godless and unblest;

Thence new thoughts upon him pressed,

Thoughts of evil, frenzied daring,
