Who should be with us now, had they not dared

In some wild moment of festivity

To give their full hearts way, and breathe a wish

For freedom!—and some traitor—it might be

A breeze perchance—bore the forbidden sound

To Eribert: so they must die—unless

Fate (who at times is wayward) should select

Some other victim first! But have they not

Brothers or sons among us?

Gui. Look on me!
