Me and my husband.

Gerb. Margaret, back! as thou lovest me!

Nay, touch me not, I am a banished man,

Good Friends, brave Gellert, pardon my poor feelings.

For I am now afflicted by dread heaven

For some gone, unknown sin of my past youth.

Perchance I murdered one in hideous sleep,

Strangled some infant on its mother’s breast,

Violated some pure sanctuary;

That this dread blackness lieth on me now.
