In state she first appears before the people all;
Her veil removed, the groom alone is at her call.—
Who’s not received the gift of knowledge from above,
Will ne’er believe a stock could sigh and moan for love.
He may pretend to acquiesce; not from belief;
He says: “Tis so,” to scape a name much worse than thief.
All they who’re not convinced that God’s “Be” is enough,
Will turn away their face; this tale they’ll treat as “stuff.”
If he (man) from esse, reach not posse’s state, he’s nil.—
(God) Himself He’s veiled in man, as sun behind a cloud.
