A Soldier.
Christ died for me, and I forsook him!
Another Soldier.
Smite me, oh wrathful Lord in heaven; for I have worshipped false gods!
The Soldier Agathon.
The devil on the throne has slain my soul! Woe, woe, woe![woe!]
Other Soldiers.
[Tearing off the leaden seals which they wear round their necks.] We will not serve idols!
Others Again.
The Apostate is not our ruler! We will go home! home!
