Now is it time for me to haste away

From his environment, for whensoe’er

His sight can think me as I really am,

He will commence to fashion in his thought

Part of the power which slowly killeth me.

(Ahriman disappears.)

Benedictus:

Now only do I see ’tis Ahriman,

Who flees himself, but fashions out of thought

A knowledge of his being in myself.
