FRITZ--

(_Leaning forward and speaking in a loud voice in

Hartzel's ear._)

You hear what Wiglaf says? Says he's a man;

Why did they burn his harp, then?

CANZLER-- No, Hartzel;

'Tis not enough with them that we are men;

We must be Christians.

WIGLAF-- That's it.

CANZLER-- We must pray

The prayers the priests pray. We must go to church,

Chant when they chant and what they chant and be

Clay, as it were, upon their potter's-wheel.

'Tis not enough the great All-father wrought

Us in his image; not enough to live

The honest life of man. We must submit

To be remolded to whatever shape

The potter-priest may give us. So we bear

His stamp and pray his prayers and wear the name

Christian--
