And ever you did bear and bow the head!

It had been sorry trial, to precede

Your feet, hold up the promise of reward

For luring gleam; your footsteps kept the track

Through dark and doubt: take all the light at once!

Trial is over, consummation shines;

Well have you served, as well henceforth command!

Puc. No, no ... I dare not! I am grateful, glad;

But Luria—you shall understand he's wronged:

And he's my captain—this is not the way
