What further still?

Lead maiden, thou canst guide him where we will.

Follow with blind steps, father, as I lead.

In a strange land strange thou art;

To her will incline thine heart;

Honour whatso’er the State

Honours, all she frowns on hate.

Guide me child, where we may range

Safe within the paths of right;

Counsel freely may exchange

Nor with fate and fortune fight.

Halt! Go no further than that rocky floor.

Stay where I now am? 163
