For from his grave he still protects his children
Because he cannot die in any heart.
How could he so? There’s never a man can pray
Who must not say—“To him I owe my thanks
That I may yet kneel down before my God
And not to bronze and wood and stone.”
Joseph (aside).
The King
Was in the right! The deed I must accomplish,
And that on both, or else endure them both.
