A GADARENE	A
He hath escaped hath plucked his chains asunder	B
And broken his fetters always night and day	C
Is in the mountains here and in the tombs	D
Crying aloud and cutting himself with stones	E
Exceeding fierce so that no man can tame him	F
	-
THE DEMONIAC from above unseen	A
O Aschmedai O Aschmedai have pity	G
	-
A GADARENE	A
Listen It is his voice Go warn the people	H
Just landing from the lake	I
	-
THE DEMONIAC	I
O Aschmedai	G
Thou angel of the bottomless pit have pity	G
It was enough to hurl King Solomon	A
On whom be peace two hundred leagues away	C
Into the country and to make him scullion	A
In the kitchen of the King of Maschkemen	A
Why dost thou hurl me here among these rocks	J
And cut me with these stones	E
	-
A GADARENE	A
He raves and mutters	K
He knows not what	G
	-
THE DEMONIAC appearing from a tomb among the rocks	J
The wild cock Tarnegal	H
Singeth to me and bids me to the banquet	G
Where all the Jews shall come for they have slain	A
Behemoth the great ox who daily cropped	G
A thousand hills for food and at a draught	G
Drank up the river Jordan and have slain	A
The huge Leviathan and stretched his skin	A
Upon the high walls of Jerusalem	L
And made them shine from one end of the world	G
Unto the other and the fowl Barjuchne	A
Whose outspread wings eclipse the sun and make	I
Midnight at noon o'er all the continents	M
And we shall drink the wine of Paradise	N
From Adam's cellars	K
	-
A GADARENE	A
O thou unclean spirit	G
	-
THE DEMONIAC hurling down a stone	A
This is the wonderful Barjuchne's egg	I
That fell out of her nest and broke to pieces	O
And swept away three hundred cedar trees	P
And threescore villages Rabbi Eliezer	B
How thou didst sin there in that seaport town	A
When thou hadst carried safe thy chest of silver	B
Over the seven rivers for her sake	I
I too have sinned beyond the reach of pardon	A
Ye hills and mountains pray for mercy on me	G
Ye stars and planets pray for mercy on me	G
Ye sun and moon oh pray for mercy on me	G
	-
CHRISTUS and his disciples pass	Q
	-
A GADARENE	A
There is a man here of Decapolis	Q
Who hath an unclean spirit so that none	A
Can pass this way He lives among the tombs	Q
Up there upon the cliffs and hurls down stones	Q
On those who pass beneath	R
	-
CHRISTUS	Q
Come out of him	F
Thou unclean spirit	G
	-
THE DEMONIAC	I
What have I to do	G
With thee thou Son of God Do not torment us	Q
	-
CHRISTUS	Q
What is thy name	S
	-
THE DEMONIAC	I
Legion for we are many	A
Cain the first murderer and the King Belshazzar	B
And Evil Merodach of Babylon	A
And Admatha the death cloud prince of Persia	T
And Aschmedai the angel of the pit	G
And many other devils We are Legion	A
Send us not forth beyond Decapolis	Q
Command us not to go into the deep	U
There is a herd of swine here in the pastures	Q
Let us go into them	V
	-
CHRISTUS	Q
Come out of him	F
Thou unclean spirit	G
	-
A GADARENE	A
See how stupefied	G
How motionless he stands He cries no more	B
He seems bewildered and in silence stares	Q
As one who walking in his sleep awakes	Q
And knows not where he is and looks about him	F
And at his nakedness and is ashamed	G
	-
THE DEMONIAC	I
Why am I here alone among the tombs	Q
What have they done to me that I am naked	G
Ah woe is me	A
	-
CHRISTUS	Q
Go home unto thy friends	Q
And tell them how great things the Lord hath done	A
For thee and how He had compassion on thee	A
	-
A SWINEHERD running	I
The herds the herd O most unlucky day	G
They were all feeding quiet in the sun	A
When suddenly they started and grew savage	W
As the wild boars of Tabor and together	B
Rushed down a precipice into the sea	A
They are all drowned	G
	-
PETER	B
Thus righteously are punished	G
The apostate Jews that eat the flesh of swine	A
And broth of such abominable things	Q
	-
GREEKS OF GADARA	B
We sacrifice a sow unto Demeter	B
At the beginning of harvest and another	B
To Dionysus at the vintage time	X
Therefore we prize our herds of swine and count them	V
Not as unclean but as things consecrate	G
To the immortal gods O great magician	A
Depart out of our coasts let us alone	A
We are afraid of thee	A
	-
PETER	B
Let us depart	G
For they that sanctify and purify	Y
Themselves in gardens eating flesh of swine	A
And the abomination and the mouse	Q
Shall be consumed together saith the Lord	G
