TOBIAS:
Saintly this is
this union is
consecrated
consummated
EILEEN:
Cross round my neck
burns a rite, sacred rite
holy light of providence
sacrifice of opulence
TOBIAS:
Genuflect, on one knee
In nomine Patris
yes, yes, that's me
Father on one knee
EILEEN:
Burden, burn for me
et Filii, blessed be your name
saintly stern, Latinate
forge us into Trinity
TOBIAS (to himself):
Blood and brimstone
cleansing fire, God
grow a thorn-crown
for this child
