[Arnold places the knife in the ground, with the point upwards.

Now 'tis set,

And I can fall upon it. Yet one glance

On the fair day, which sees no foul thing like

Myself, and the sweet sun which warmed me, but70

In vain. The birds—how joyously they sing!

So let them, for I would not be lamented:

But let their merriest notes be Arnold's knell;

The fallen leaves my monument; the murmur

Of the near fountain my sole elegy.
