How long these maids have slept, in sooth I cannot tell;

Or whether they have dreamed what I before mine eyes

Saw bright and clear, to me is equally unknown.

So wake I them. Amazed the younger folks shall be,

Ye too, ye bearded ones, who sit below and wait,

Hoping to see at length these miracles resolved.

Arise! Arise! And shake quickly your crisped locks!

Shake slumber from your eyes! Blink not, and list to me!
