The world that lacked them would be like a woman,

That looking on the cloven lips of a hare,

Brings forth a hare-lipped child.

SEANCHAN.

But that’s not all:

For when I asked you how a man should guard

Those images, you had an answer also,

If you’re the man that you have claimed to be,

Comparing them to venerable things

God gave to men before he gave them wheat.
