At last together at the self-same goal——
Third King.
Whether a King’s son or a beggar’s son
The Child this star has lighted into life
Will be uplifted high, and on the Earth
No man shall breathe that will not bow to Him.
Herod (aside).
So speaks the Ancient Book as well! (Aloud.) May I
Make offer of a guide to Bethlehem?
First King
