[Nature's strife will never last]

One of them . . . drew a sword. —xiv. 47.

Nature's strife will never last,
Soon her warmest zeal is pass'd;
While a soldier of the Lord,
Arm'd with neither shield nor sword,
Doth, like Christ, himself defend,
Calm and patient to the end,
80

Strives, for ill returning good,
Strives, resisting unto blood.
