Nor means to destroy altars and idol worship.
The Supreme Being his only and sole support,
Does not exact for offering a single coin
From any sect, from Jew nor plebeian:
What need has He of Temple or archbishop?
The heart of the just and the general good
Shines like a brilliant sun on the halo of glory.”
Then follows a “Bouquet for the Pope”:
“Thou whom flatterers have invested with a vain title,
Shalt thou at this late day become the arbiter of Europe?
