Both knave and fool the merchant we may call, }

To pay great sums, and to compound the small; }

For who would break with heaven, and would not break for all? }

Rest then, my soul, from endless anguish freed;

Nor sciences thy guide, nor sense thy creed.

Faith is the best ensurer of thy bliss;

The bank above must fail, before the venture miss.

But heaven and heaven-born faith are far from thee,

Thou first apostate to divinity.

Unkennelled range in thy Polonian plains;
