What mean yon fires?
This and but this. The men who love not Christ
Love not His Church; and, loving not, abhor her.
Christ only truly sees His Church's face:
At times she wears a sable veil: then cries
The world: ‘A widow is she, not the Bride!’
At times she wears a denser veil gold-woven;
Then cries the fool: ‘The world hath wedded her!’
So prate the market babes!
