Wrapt in eternal light—in all, a type

Of the excelling life we try to live—

Of the all-glorious death we hope to die!

Mousta, returning from his weary search—

Vav. Is he alone?

Mel.Alas, my darling, yes!

But still perchance he brings some news to us:

I’ll go and meet him. Stay thou here, Vavir,
