| "See how far upon the Eastern road The star-led wizards haste with odours sweet. O run, present them with thy humle ode, And lay it lowly at his blessed feet; Have thou the honour first thy Lord to greet, And join thy voices with the angel quire From out his secret altar touched with hallow'd fire." |
