1st Spirit
I am this moment freed from earth.
2d Spirit
And I a captive bound to birth.
Who art thou?
1st Spirit
Flesh and blood to be
Cleave not closer unto thee.
2d Spirit
My father?
1st Spirit
Yea.
A mingling breath
They drew. Then rival Life and Death,
As if rebuking Love's delay,
Drove each his fate-determined way.
