From you
I infer all good: that true
Faith I hope which you advise.
Carpophorus (to Polemius).
Give me leave, sir, to address
Some few words to him alone,
Less reserve will then be shown. (The two retire to one side.
Have you recognized me?
Chrysanthus.
Yes,
Every sign shows you are he
Who in my most perilous strait
Fled and left me to my fate.
Carpophorus.
God did that; and would you see
That it was His own work, say,
If I did not then absent me
Through His means, could I present me
As your teacher here to-day?
Chrysanthus.
No.
Carpophorus.
