| | Translated by J. A. Symonds
HERE bend in boundless wonder; bow your head: | |
| Think how God’s deathless Mind, that men might be | |
| Robed in celestial immortality | |
| (O Love divine!) in flesh was raimented: | |
| How He was killed and buried; from the dead | 5 |
| How He arose to life with victory, | |
| And reigned in heaven, how all of us shall be | |
| Glorious like Him whose hearts to His are wed: | |
| How they who die for love of reason, give | |
| Hypocrites, tyrants, sophists, all who sell | 10 |
| Their neighbour’s ill for holiness—to hell: | |
| How the dead saint condemns the bad who live; | |
| How all he does becomes a law for men | |
| How he at last to judge shall come again. | | | | |
