Unless with your forgiveness—

Just. I forgive!

Still I, and I, again! Oh, Cipriano,

Pardon and intercession both alike

With Him alone; and had I to forgive—

Did not He pray upon the cross for those

Who slew Him—as I hope to do on mine

For mine—He bids us bless our enemies

And persecutors; which I think, I think,

You were not, Cipriano—why do you shudder?—
