When the tongue of slander stings thee, let this be thy comfort,--they are not the worst fruits on which the wasps alight. - [Slander] The dead ride swiftly. [Ger., Die Todtem reiten schnell.] - Leonore [Death] Song of the brave, how thrills thy tone As when the Organ's music rolls; No gold rewards, but song alone, The deeds of great and noble souls. [Ger., Hoch klingt das Lied vom braven Mann, Wie Orgelton und Glockenklang; Wer hohes Muths sich ruhmen kann Den lohnt nicht Gold, den lohnt Gesang.] - Lied von Braven Mann [Bravery]
