Lo, stern fate kneels before us! Lo, rapture evermore!

—What madness ’twas I know not, that thus entrancéd me;

What wine, nor who the bearer, nor whither vanished he.

She went.—O whither too, O one true love,

Went my sad heart, thou knowest. Lo my prayer

Followeth thee, & faith that nought may move.

With prayer I came, & now with pleading strong

I leave thee, that my flinchless trust thou share;

So shall God aid us, who to him belong.
