Radiant as thine, my warrior! Thou wilt live!

Look round thee! all is sunshine. Is not this

A smiling world?

Raim. Ay, gentlest love! a world

Of joyous beauty and magnificence,

There is no home for liberty, or love,

Beneath these festal skies! Be not deceived;

My way lies far beyond! I shall be soon
