To be delivered of the Child of Truth,
Which is, in love, to rule mankind as one,
The one great body in the Spirit Christ[[156]]
Who cometh now a second time to man
Through her who clothes him with a mortal form,
Our Holy Mother in the Living God.
And yet about the woman, as of old,
Damned Satan’s lurks, with seven diadems—
The dragon stands as knowledge of the World,
Which would devour the holy child of God.
