Would fain depart and to its kingdom turn,
Nor for his body sought another bier.
Think now what he was who the fame did earn 118
To be his comrade, and for Peter's barque
On the high seas the true path to discern.
And such was he, our honoured Patriarch; 121
Wherefore, who follows him as he commands,
Him laden with rich treasures thou mayest mark.
