VII. INTERPRETERS.
Those does our Virgin Mother, full of grace,As her Vicegerents send, that we may see
Her mingled tenderness and purity
Reflected in each well-belovèd face;
And other rarer spirits of our race
Ordains as her Interpreters, that She
Through them may speak her oracles, and we
Be mov'd her blessed service to embrace.
Two name I, whom our Master prized the most—
The mighty bard, who saw the depths of Hell,
And heard the anthems of the heavenly host;
And the meek saint, who in his convent cell,
All worldly noises silenc'd, bent his ear
The whispers of the voice divine to hear.
