The wrath of god and in the other fire. 425
Pr. Thou meanest rather holding both in one.
In. Both impious art thou and incredible.
Pr. Yet impious only till thou dost believe.
In. And what believe? Ah, if I could believe!

And I was near believing; I believed:
Now to believe were to be mad as thou.
Chorus. He may be mad and yet say true—maybe
The heat of prophecy like a strong wine
