O Maiden, when we kissed, then it was night; who saw us? A night Star saw us, and the moon, And it leaned downward to the sea, and gave it the tidings, Then the Sea told the rudder, the rudder told the sailor, The sailor put it into song, then the neighbor heard it, Then the priest heard it and told my mother, From her the father heard it, he got in a burning anger, They quarrelled with me and commanded me and they have forbidden me Ever to go to the door, ever to go to the window. And yet I will go to the window as if to my flowers, And never will I rest till my beloved is mine.
Footnote 80:
Job xli: 13 (Leviathan).
“21. His breath kindleth coals, and a flame goeth out of his mouth.
“22. In his neck remaineth strength, and sorrow is turned into joy before him.
“24. His heart is as firm as a stone; yea, as hard as a piece of the nether millstone.
“25. When he raiseth up himself, the mighty are afraid: by reason of breakings they purify themselves.
“33. Upon earth there is not his like who is made without fear.
“34. He beholdeth all high things: he is a king over all the children of pride.”
