I did the duty in this solemn hour
Which those from higher realms did lay on me.
I did not think that which it is my place
To think, according to the ritual,
And which, proceeding from me, should appear
In spirit-working in the neophyte.
The young man therefore hath declared to us
None other’s thoughts but his own being’s self.
The truth hath conquered. Ye may punish me;
I had to do what ye perceived with fear.
