\nThe world has changed for me within one night.
\nO surely, surely all shall yet go well,
\nSince Love is crowned.<\/font> <\/font><\/p>\n

\nAslaug, the hour arrives
\nWhen I must leave thee. For the dawn looks pale
\nInto our chamber and these first rare sounds
\nExpect the arising sun, the daylight world.<\/font>
\n<\/font><\/p>\n

\n\tA<\/font>SLAUG
\n\t<\/font>\n<\/p>\n

\nEric, thou goest hence to war with Swegn,
\nMy brother ?<\/font> <\/font><\/p>\n

\n\tE<\/font>RIC
\n\t<\/font>\n<\/p>\n

\nWhat thinks thy heart?<\/font>
\n<\/font><\/p>\n

\n\tA<\/font>SLAUG
\n\t<\/font>\n<\/p>\n

\nThat Swegn shall live.<\/font>
\n<\/font><\/p>\n

\n\tE<\/font>RIC
\n\t<\/font>\n<\/p>\n

\nThou know’st his safety from deliberate swords.
\nNone shall dare touch the head that Aslaug loves.
\nYet if some evil chance came edged with doom
\nWhich Odin and my will shall not allow
\nOr in the fight his splendid rashness slew,
\nThou wouldst not hold me guilty of his death,
\nAslaug ?<\/font> <\/font><\/p>\n

\n\tA<\/font>SLAUG
\n\t<\/font>\n<\/p>\n

\nFate orders all and Fate I now
\nHave recognised all the world’s mystic will
\nThat loves and labours.<\/font> <\/font><\/p>\n

\n\tE<\/font>RIC
\n\t<\/font>\n<\/p>\n

\nBecause it labours and loves
\nOur hearts, our wills are counted, are indulged.
\nAslaug, for these few days in hope and trust
\nAnchor thy mind. I shall bring back thy joy,
\nBecause I go with mercy and from love. .<\/font>
\n<\/font><\/p>\n

\nHe embraces her and goes.<\/i><\/font>

\nSwegn lives. A heart, not iron gods, o’errules.<\/font>\u00b9<\/font><\/p>\n

\n\u00b9<\/font>Swegn lives. A Mind, not iron gods, with laws
\nDeaf and inevitable, overrules. <\/font><\/p>\n
