XXXV. BOOK I. CH. X. § 7.

[Ah! wretched they that worship vanities]

[_]

Sedulius, I. 226–31.

Ah! wretched they that worship vanities,
And consecrate dumb idols in their heart;
Who their own maker, God on high, despise,
And fear the work of their own hands and art!
67

What fury, what great madness, doth beguile
Men's minds, that man should ugly shapes adore,
Of birds or bulls or dragons, or the vile
Half-dog, half-man, on knees for aid implore!
