    I. SONG AT THE BEGINNING

    8. For what good is this earth? Truly there is another

    life in the hereafter. There may I go, there the sweet

    birds sing, there may I learn to know those good

    flowers, those sweet flowers, those delicious ones,

    which alone pleasurably, sweetly intoxicate, which

    alone pleasurably, sweetly intoxicate.
