Drown'd, bang'd, empaled, to rise, as gods, again ;Of their own freedom from the altar's chain, Ask them, what mighty secret lurks below Should mock thus all that thou thy blood hast sold, This seven-fold mystery—can they tell theo ? No; And I my truth, pride, freedom, to uphold ? Gravely they keep that only secret, well It must not be :-think’st thou that Christian sect, And fairly kept-that they have none to tell ; Whose followers, quick as broken waves, erect And, duped themselves, console their humbled pride Their crests anew and swell into a tide,

Man's wildest passions for Religion's views, To these earth-hidden temples, track’d his way, Yoking them to her car like fiery steeds, Just at that hour when, round the Shrine, and me, Lies the main art in which our craft succeeds. The choir of blooming nymphs thou long'st to see, And oh! be blest, ye men of yore, whose toil Sing their last night-hymn in the Sanctuary.

In a rich, sunless empire of her own, Who know not the safe path, e'er dare to move- With all earth's luxuries lighting up her throne ;Gave sigual that a foot profane was nigh :- A realm for mystery made, which undermines 'Twas the Greek youth, who, by that morning's sky, Tho Nile itself, and, 'neath the Twelve Great Shrines Had been observed, curiously wand'ring round That keep Initiation's holy rite, The mighty fanes of our sepulchral ground.
