Each day these two would wander out alone;

And by the well, or in a quiet glade

Seated, would hold their talk, with none to hear.

Yet converse scarce it was; with ears intent,

Fidus did always listen, while the Boy

Poured out a tale of Kings and Prophets old;

Of marvels that they worked to testify

Unto a King whom yet the earth would see,

A King of all Judea and the world;

Whose glory, mounting even to the stars
