Thou stood’st before the adversary’s throne
And saw’st what follows his activities;
So for thine office thou art well prepared.
Capesius:
He who hath viewed the adversary’s realm
As powers of fate permitted me to do,
He knows that ‘good’ and ‘evil’ are but words
Which mankind scarce can understand aright.
Who speaks of Lucifer as wholly bad
Might also say that fire is evil too,
