Overture: Bad weather and Transition to Spring
May is in full bloom
Could you be so rash, so daring?
Whoever fears to sacrifice
Divide your forces, valiant men
Christians and their priests are witless
Come with prongs and pitchforks
It’s come so far that now by night
Help, oh help me, comrade
The flame is purified by smoke
