E. Why dost thou fear?
M. How can I help my fears, when every thing makes me fear?
E. Thou mayest be aided, so that thy fears will not control thee.
M. Thy confidence I do not realize.
E. My confidence will be thine, when thy fears are removed.
M. That will not soon be realized.
E. I know thy condition, and thou knowest that as thou art, even so I once was. Dost thou remember me?
M. I have seen thee, but thou dost not wear the same garments? Why didst thou change?
E. I was with thee, when thou didst first enter within these walls. I was thy teacher, when thou wast where thou wouldst not return. I saw thee, when thou wast in a condition that elicited my sympathy. Dost thou wish farther relief?
M. I would not refuse what thy kindness has to bestow.
