:22:10
Why give the bishop
such power over you?
:22:15
Why let yourself be humiliated
by an ignorant priest?
:22:19
None of your business, dog!
:22:21
I know I am a dog...
But a faithful dog
:22:28
You are wrong, Tsar,
to prefer a priest to a dog
:22:35
I know, you want friendship
:22:39
You languish without friendship
:22:41
For friendship you are ready
to bow at his feet
:22:46
Do you not see that Philip
has only one idea:
:22:49
to conceal your enemies
under his own skirts?
:22:53
A friend, eh?
:22:57
He's hardly worth more than
Kurbsky!
:22:59
You dare pronounce that name
:23:01
Ah!
I know you love Kurbsky!
:23:05
It's not his treachery which
wounds you
:23:07
It's the loss of a friend!
:23:09
You don't sleep at night!
:23:10
Hold your tongue, dog!
:23:13
You don't show any gratitude
or affection
:23:15
to those who are loyal to you,
:23:17
who'd give their lives for you,
:23:19
who carry the weight of your
power on their strong shoulders
:23:26
My power is carried by
the shoulders of the people
:23:30
and their will is my strength
:23:33
I hear the voice of God
through them
:23:35
and I carry out His holy designs
:23:38
Tsar, I beg you, don't let the
priest do as he pleases.
:23:42
Don't trust anyone.
You hold the power. Use it!
:23:48
I understand. You've given
your word to the priest
:23:52
You've made him promises
:23:54
You can't go back on your word
:23:57
I understand
:23:58
So we must see that the Tsar's
word is respected
