"Believe it, that these ignorant men should be Blind and deprived of judgment, is God's doom;
Who makes them loathe the light of poetry, That envious Death may wholly them consume.
Besides that Song can quicken and set free Him that is prisoned in the darkness tomb, Though foul his name, if Cirrha him befriend.
Its savour myrrh and spikenard shall transcend.
