At night, by unknown hands, my brave companions:

Tsarpi, my best beloved, light of my soul,

Put out in darkness! O my broken lamp

Of life, where art thou? Nay, I cannot find her.

WOUNDED SOLDIER: [Raising himself on his arm.]

Master!

NAAMAN: [Kneels beside him.]

One living? Quick, a torch this way!

Lift up his head,--so,--carefully!

Courage, my friend, your captain is beside you.
