(Text) SARASTRO:
O Isis and Osiris, gift
The spirit of wisdom to the new pair!
You who guide the wanderers steps,
Strengthen them with patience when in danger!
PRIESTS:
Strengthen them with patience when in danger!
SARASTRO:
Let them see the fruits of their trial;
But should they head to their grave,
Then reward the virtue of their bold try,
Take them into your abode.
PRIESTS:
Take them into your abode!
