Deep in a sewer dungeon under stone
In fetid darkness still to live and run....”

“Oh, what a might is this whose single frown
Doth shake the world as it would shake it down?

Hath all on nothing set, lets nothing fall.
Gave all to nothing man indeed, whereby
Through nothing man all might Him glorify.”
