 4/4 THUS SPAKE ZARATHUSTRA, IV

Ye higher men, for yourselves it longeth, delight, the unruly, blissful one, for your woe, ye ill-con- stituted ! For failures all eternal delight longeth !

For all delight seeketh itself. Therefore it also seeketh woe ! Oh, happiness ! Oh, pain ! Oh, break, heart ! Ye higher men, learn that eternity is sought by delight.

Eternity of all things is sought by delight, eternity deep by all delight!

12

Have ye now learnt my song? Guessed ye what it seeketh ? Up ! up ! Ye higher men, sing now my roundelay !

Sing now yourselves the song whose name is ' Once more,' whose sense is ' For all eternity ! ' Sing, ye higher men, Zarathustra's roundelay !

O man ! Lose not sight !

What saith the deep midnight?

'/ lay in sleep, in sleep ;

From deep dream I woke to light.

The world is deep,

And deeper than ever day thought it might.

Deep is its woe,

And deeper still than woe delight.'

Saith woe : ' Pass, go !

Eternity ' j souglit by all delight,

Eternity deep by all delight ! ' '
