Behold thy might in me! thou hast infused

Thy soul in mine; and I am grand as thou,

Seeing I comprehend thee—I so simple,

Thou so august. I recognize thee first;

I saw thee rise, I watched thee early and late,

And though no glance reveal thou dost accept

My homage—thus no less I proffer it,

And bid thee enter gloriously thy rest.

Par. Festus!

Fest. I am for noble Aureole, God!
