The will of the Inexorable is shown. Wherefore, ye priests and worshippers of mine, Approach with me, that I may now reveal Great Mammon s secret. Draw ye close, and gaze Upon those features.

(The Spirit of Bohemia, together with the First and Second Wood-Spirits and First and Second Wood men, and the Spirits of Fire, Time and the Winds, mount the lower hillside and gather about the body of Mammon.)

See, betraying Death Hath changed that visage, and proclaims to all That where high Mammon stood and shook his mace, There, masked in undisclosing gold, stood Care! But come, O friends, and hale his body hence. Thou, Fire, shalt have thine utmost will of him, Till ye, O Winds, make merry with his dust.
