But which these tenets sanctify at once,

Though to less subtle wits it seems the same,

Consider it how they may.

Mich. Is it so, Festus?

He speaks so calmly and kindly: is it so?

Par. Reject those glorious visions of God's love

And man's design; laugh loud that God should send

Vast longings to direct us; say how soon

Power satiates these, or lust, or gold; I know

The world's cry well, and how to answer it.
