By which hung all the bench of deities;

And in a chain, compact of ears and eyes,

She led Religion: all her body was

Clear and transparent as the purest glass,

For she was all[51] presented to the sense:

Devotion, Order, State, and Reverence,120

Her shadows were; Society, Memory;

All which her sight made live, her absence die.

A rich disparent pentacle[52] she wears,

Drawn full of circles and strange characters.
