In mine own human personality.

He who now comes, as though another’s life

Had been entrusted to him, sees that fate

Hath laid on him the task of watching o’er

Results of his own work and guiding them

With dutiful attention from this place

For such time as the spirit doth command.

Torquatus (in the South, to Capesius):

Capesius, henceforth ’twill be thy task

To serve the holy temple in this place
