Stop the lying mouth!

Friends, your sword-service!

Tannhäuser.

Will they answer you?

My arm is weary as your souls are not

Of beastliness: I have drawn my father’s sword,

Hard as your virtue is the easy sort,

Heavy to handle as your loves are light,

Smooth as your lies, and sharper than your hates!

I know you! Cowards to the very bone!
