And it hath still high duties. Now, my wife!

Thou mother of my children—of the dead—

Whom I name unto thee in steadfast hope—

Farewell!

Elm. No, not farewell! My soul hath risen

To mate itself with thine; and by thy side,

Amidst the hurling lances, I will stand,

As one on whom a brave man’s love hath been

Wasted not utterly.

Gon. I thank thee, heaven!
