Bringing the chrism from my store, I'll come.

For our past ills, I know, 'tis all too late,

But for the future, I may hope, will dawn

A better fortune! But 'tis now your part

In these our present ills, in counsel faithful

To commune with the Faithful; and my son,

530

Should he come here before me, comfort him,

And home escort him, lest he add fresh ill

To all these evils that we suffer now. [Exit
