Cheerfully up the scaffold-steps. I go

This evening, mother!

Mother. But mistrust yourself—

Mistrust the judgment you pronounce on him!

Luigi. Oh, there I feel—am sure that I am right!

Mother. Mistrust your judgment then, of the mere means

To this wild enterprise: say, you are right,—

How should one in your state e'er bring to pass

What would require a cool head, a cool heart,

And a calm hand? You never will escape.
