Scene

VIII

John

Come, Andronicus, let us go to Drusiana’s tomb, and commend her soul to Christ in prayer.

Andronicus

It is like your holiness not to forget one who trusted in you.

John

Behold! The invisible God appears to us, made visible in the form of a beautiful youth.

Andronicus

To the Spectators. Tremble.

John

Lord Jesus, why hast Thou deigned to manifest Thyself to Thy servants in this place?

God

To raise Drusiana from the dead, and with her him who lies outside her tomb, have I come, that in them My Name may be glorified.

Andronicus

How swiftly He was caught up again into heaven!

John

I cannot altogether understand what this means.

Andronicus

Let us go on to the tomb. It may be that there what is now obscure will become clear.
