_Pharisaeus et Publicanus._ Luc. xviii. 14-19.
En duo templum adeunt, diversis mentibus ambo.
Ille procul trepido lumine signat humum:
It gravis hic, et in alta ferox penetralia tendit.
Plus habet hic templi; plus habet ille Dei.
{Andres, idou, heteroisi noois, dyo hiron eselthon.
Telothen orrhodei keinos ho phrikaleos;
All' ho men hos sobaros neou mychon engys hikanei;
Pleion ho men neou, pleion ho d' eiche Theou.}
_Two went up into the Temple to pray._
Two went to pray! O, rather say,
One went to brag, th' other to pray.
One stands up close, and treads on high,
Where th' other dares not send his eye.
One neerer to God's altar trod;
The other to the altar's God. CR.
