When God the Seven Sleepers’[152] dog applauded. How!
To call it dog, to charge it with defect of race,
No harm can do it; God in heaven hath given it place.
’Twas not the pen prescrib’d the qualities of form;
Th’ Omniscient, the Just, ’twas, made it multiform.130
Th’ Omniscient, the Just, a Spirit is, All-Blest;
Him no place holds; He’s not before, behind, east, west.
He influences matter from His high abode;
But heaven of heavens cannot contain the Spirit’s mode.”
That theme is endless. Let us then just turn away.
