The meaning of your kind solicitude.

You eye me as a boy a sallow, good

To cut and play the flute on for a day.

Falk.

Yes, better than to linger in the swamp

Till autumn choke it with her grey mists damp!

[Vehemently.

You must! you shall! To me you must present

What God to you so bountifully lent.

I speak in song what you in dreams have meant.
