Listen in the reader

All's well with the World. We stand, as aye, obedient. We have no thought but Thee, no asking, no intent More than to laud and worship, O most merciful, Being of those that wait.

SATAN (aside)

The contemplative rule Out-ministers the active. These have right to boast, Who stand aye in His presence, beyond the Angel host.
