Canto I. Stanza 7.

"New light new love, new love new life hath bred;

A life that lives by love, and loves by light;

A love to Him to whom all loves are wed;

A light to whom the sun is darkest night:

Eye's light, heart's love, soul's only life He is;

Life, soul, love, heart, light, eye, and all are His;

He eye, light, heart, love, soul; He all my joy and bliss."

In seventy words only one of more than a syllable; the alliteration in the second line is likewise noticeable.
