Which hath the power to purify men’s souls.
What from his purity of thought streamed forth
Flowed also into me, and I was changed.
I felt his purity within myself.
Nought need he fear from me, if he should now
Feel once more drawn toward Maria’s soul.
But he belongs, as yet, to thy domain,
And at this moment I demand him back.
For he could now experience myself,
Unless thou will’st to misdirect his sense.
