:19:00
But I have no close friends
:19:05
God refuses me the sweet
consolations of friendship
:19:10
On whose shoulders can I rest
my head?
:19:15
With whom can I share my joys
and sorrows?
:19:21
I am alone, abandoned
:19:26
I had a single close friend-
Anastasia
:19:32
She has left me
:19:34
I had a friend, Kurbsky
:19:37
He has betrayed me
:19:38
No, not just myself...
but our great cause
:19:48
I don't fear the trouble-makers
:19:51
I don't fear the sword, poison
or betrayal
:19:56
I fear not for myself
:19:59
But I tremble for our great
cause
:20:04
A new cause, on which one had
hardly embarked
:20:09
There is no higher destiny
than to reign
:20:12
according to ancient traditions
:20:14
As our ancestors did.
Pay heed to the boyars
:20:18
Share your authority with them
:20:22
You lie, monk!
:20:24
These are old wives' tales!
:20:25
You reject the counsel of
your spiritual guide? Very well!
:20:28
Remain alone!
:20:33
Condemned, accursed...
and alone!
:20:45
It is no longer the Tsar
who pleads with you
:20:49
but a friend crushed by
the burden of authority
:20:58
Don't leave me in my isolation.
Stay with me
