[Calls to him loudly, hoping to awaken him from the trance] Jeremiah!

Jeremiah

What star was brighter than thine,

Thou city of Jacob,

Thou fortress of David,

Thou tabernacle of Solomon,

God’s treasure and his holy house?

Who could herald thy ways, who could signal thy praise?

All happy the psalteries, the cymbals grew light,

With sounding thy triumphs from morning till night.
