And know that He has come unto His own.”

“Aye,” quick the Boy made answer, “it shall be

Uplifted high that every man may see;

Not Jews alone but even ye of Rome;

And men from Britain too, on farthest shore

Of Rome’s great Empire: they shall see and know

The King who reigns upon that living throne;

And in the Islands of unchartered seas

The King shall lifted be, that all may know;
