JOHN 
 
Crystal clear. 
 
ISSA 
 
I came from heaven. 
 
JOHN 
 
We guessed it. 
 
ISSA 
 
Guess again ! 
What follows ? 
 
JOHN 
 
— Er — 
 
ISSA 
 
To humbug me is vain. 
Guess ! 
 
JOHN 
 
Well, to come from heaven — Thou com’st to reign ? 
 
ISSA 
 
I die — thou mark’st me ? 
 
JOHN 
 
Truly :  plain as plain !
