By cursed Cains race invented be,
And blest Seth vexed us with Astronomie.”

That for your listeners hungry hearts sufficed
Still live,but more than this to you belongs:
You sang a race from wood and stone to Christ.”

Last of the race of them who grieve
Here leave us to die out with these
Last of the people who believe!

Silentthe best are silent now.”
