God is separate, even from His attributes; but He willed eternally the good;
Therefore freely, though unchangeably, is wise, righteous, and loving:
But ambition, open unto angels, saw the evil, flung aside from the beginning,
It was Lucifer that saw, and nothing loathed those black unclaimed regalia,
So he coveted and stole, to be counted for a king, antagonist of God,
But when he touched the leprous robes, behold! a cheated traitor.
For self-existence, charactered with love, with power, wisdom, and ubiquity,
Could not dwell alone, but willed and worked creation.
Thus, in continual exhalation, darkening the void with matter,
Sprang from prolific Deity the creatures of His skill.
