Whilst being between the Youth and the Lily the Old Man cried out with a loud voice, "There are three which have rule on earth, Wisdom, Appearance and Strength."
When he said these words each of the four kings reacted in different ways, with the Gold, Silver and Bronze Kings bestowing gifts upon the Youth. The Will-o'-wisps lick the gold veins from the Mixed King who then disintegrates.
Following the Youth receiving the gifts the Old Man saw him change in demeanour in very remarkable ways. He had become a Prince.
The Prince then advised the Old Man he had forgotten the fourth power that rules all the world. The Old Man responded with his final wisdom.
