_Sacerdos quidam descendens eadem via vidit, et praeteriit._ Luc. x. 32.

Spectasne, ah, placidisque oculis mea vulnera tractas?

O dolor! o nostris vulnera vulneribus!

Pax oris quam torva tui est! quam triste serenum!

Tranquillus miserum qui videt, ipse facit.

_And a certaine priest comming that way looked on him, and passed by._

Why dost thou wound my wounds, O thou that passest by,

Handling and turning them with an unwounded eye?

The calm that cools thine eye does shipwrack mine; for O,

Unmov'd to see one wretched is to make him so. CR.
