He’s willingly drunk from our chalice of mead,

He’s willingly fastened the tail to his back,—

So willing, in short, did we find him in all things,

I thought to myself the old Adam, for certain,

Had for good and all been kicked out of doors;

But lo! in two shakes he’s atop again!

Ay ay, my son, we must treat you, I see,

To cure this pestilent human nature.

Peer.

What will you do?
