Make sure that goodly fruit come from their deeds and gests.
The Prophet’s high endeavour, Mekka to subdue,
Had no foundation in a lust for revenue.230
He had refused the treasures of the lofty spheres;
On day of trial shut his heart to hopes and fears.
To catch a glimpse of him the blest angelic train
Had crowded heaven’s bounds full as they could contain;
In dainty guise, to honour him themselves arrayed;
He took no note. On God alone his thoughts were stayed.
His heart was filled with sense of his great Maker’s grace.
