Some prophecy of distant future days.

Full many a time have we seen this occur.

Capesius:

It is just this that little pleaseth me

Amongst these men; who mingle with good sense

And logic, superstition’s fallacies.

’Twas ever thus where men have walked this path.

Maria:

If thou canst still speak so, thou dost not yet

Perceive our attitude towards these things.
