As purity makes passion freeze,

So faith warns science off her beat.

Blessed are they that have not seen,

And yet, not seeing, have believed:

To walk by faith, as preached the Dean,

And not by sight, have I achieved.

Let love, that does not look, believe;

Let knowledge, that believes not, look:

Truth pins her trust on falsehood's sleeve,

While reason blunders by the book.
