For I only meant To put thus far thy courage to the proof.
It is enough.

I, too, have strength to die, For thou hast taught me! ELSIE.
O my Prince! remember Your promises.

Let me fulfil my errand.
You do not look on life and death as I do.
There are two angels, that attend unseen Each one of us, and in great books record Our good and evil deeds.

He who writes down The good ones, after every action closes His volume, and ascends with it to God.
The other keeps his dreadful day-book open Till sunset, that we may repent; which doing, The record of the action fades away, And leaves a line of white across the page.
Now if my act be good, as I believe, It cannot be recalled.

It is already Sealed up in heaven, as a good deed accomplished.
The rest is yours.
