He raves.—He blasphemes.—Away with him.—He is beside himself.
Jeremiah
[In an ecstasy, speaks over their heads into the void]
Dumb and sinister Being, I witness against thee!
Be thou silent no longer, witness thou against me!
Say,
Have I ever, I charge thee, proved backward or loath?
Have I ever, I charge thee, been false to my oath?
Dumb and sinister Being, thy silence now break.
Ope thy mouth, and against me thy parable take.
