No, no! the noble is not all extinct Within you. It but slumbers,--I will rouse it. It must have cost you many a fiery struggle To crush the virtues of your race within you. But, Heaven be praised, 'tis mightier than yourself, And you are noble in your own despite! (RUD: You trust me, then? Oh, Bertha, with thy love What might I not become!) Be only that For which your own high nature destin'd you. Fill the position you were born to fill;-- Stand by your people and your native land-- And battle for your sacred rights!
