Thomasius:
My course of life is thus made clear to me.
I had to feel myself a twofold man.
Through Benedictus’ help and through thine own
I am a being standing by myself;
And all the forces that within me stir
Do not belong at all to mine own self.
Ye now have given me a manhood new
Who must be willing to give other men
What he hath gained by spirit-pupilship.
