From thundering Zeus to cloven-footed Pan,

But lies and idols, by the hand of man

Of brass and stone—fit emblems as they be,

With ears that hear not; eyes that cannot see;

And multitude where only One can be—

From man’s own lewd imagination built;

By that same devil held to that old guilt

Who tempted me to new. To whom indeed

If with my sin and blood myself I fee’d

For ever his—that bond of sin and blood
