Cadmus: Alas, alas! knowing what ye have done, ye will grieve a sad grief; but
if forever ye remain in the condition in which ye are, not fortunate, you
will seem not to be unfortunate.

Agave: But what of these matters is not well, or what is grievous?

Cadmus: First cast your eyes up to this sky.

Agave: Well; why do you bid me look at it?

Cadmus: Is it still the same, or think you it is changed?

Agave: It is brighter than formerly, and more divine.

Cadmus: Is then this fluttering still present to your soul?

Agave: I understand not your word; but I become somehow sobered, changing from
my former mind.
