doivent nous attrister, il arrive que dans le divertissement, le jeu
équilibré de la conversation, elles passent devant nous sans

transformés par le désir de plaire aux personnes présentes en
quelqu'un d'autre protégé pour quelques instants dans ce cycle nouveau

Bound into song, fashion'd to an army;
And before the measure of her song went flying,
Like leaves and breakage of the woods
Fallen into pouring floods,
The iron and the men of Sisera and Jabin;
Not by her alone
God's punishment was done
On Canaan intending a

On the foaming and poison of the serpent in Hazor;
Two women were the power of God that time.

That shieldeth mortal things from
mightier
sight, Where freedom of the soul knows no alloy,
I saw what forms the lordly powers employ; Three splendours, saw I, of high holiness, From clarity to clarity ascending
Through all the roofless, tacit courts extending In aether which such subtle light doth bless
As ne'er the candles of the stars hath wooed; Know ye herefrom of their similitude.
