In whom they will o’erthrow my power. E’en now
Johannes and Maria feel their might.
(Enter Benedictus with Lucifer and Ahriman; behind them Johannes and Maria.)
Benedictus (to Lucifer):
Johannes’ and Maria’s souls have now
No longer room for blind unseeing power:
To spirit-life they have been lifted up.
Lucifer:
Then must I straightway from their souls depart.
