Escaped the race of men? Who opes for me
The gate of heaven? Thee, father, now I see,1435

The gleaming palace of the heavenly world,
And Phoebus' path worn by his burning wheels.
[Beginning to come out of his delirium.]
I see night's couch; her shadows call me hence.1440
But what is this? who shuts me out of heaven,
