And turned the holy Mass into a mock,

Would I still kneel, or would I rise in anger

And make an end of that foul mimicry?

This but adds strength to Guinevere’s argument,

The shocks of life oft startle us to thought,

Rouse us from acquiescence and reveal

That what we took for credence was but custom.
