    “And as the sun above the light doth bring,
    Though we behold it in the air below,
    So from th’ eternal Light the soul doth spring,
    Though in the body she her powers do show.”
    —Sir John Davies (1569–1626)

    Than I am able to instruct or teach,
    And therefore, as we hither came in peace,
    So let us still continue peace and love.”
