[By wisdom pure, and humble love]

In a trance I saw a vision. —xi. 5.

By wisdom pure, and humble love
Made slow and circumspect,
One of a thousand we approve
And all the rest reject;

255

Visions, and ecstasies, and dreams,
If others seek or shun,
We steer betwixt the two extremes
To credit all, or none.
