A belt of blue lightning around it was driven,
And its crown was encircled by morion of heaven;
And they heard a herald that loud did cry,
“Prepare the way for the abbot of I!”
A sight which they never had seen before,

And they heard a herald that loud did cry,
“Prepare the way for the abbot of I!”
