And then, again, a remedy for all that’s foul:
“The juice of unripe grapes is sour, as is well known;
But when the fruit has ripened, sweet and fragrant grown,
In wine-jar when fermented, nauseous and unclean;
When vinegar, again, most wholesome is it seen.”360
If saint a poison swallow, wholesome it will prove;
But if disciple taste it, death will him remove.
“Lord, grant unto me,” was the prayer of Solomon,
“The power and kingdom solely (not to Abaddon);
This favour grant not unto other after me!”[308]
