_Christus accusatus nihil respondet._ Matt. xxvii. 12.
Nil ait: o sanctae pretiosa silentia linguae!
Ponderis o quanti res nihil illud erat!
Ille olim verbum qui dixit, et omnia fecit,
Verbum non dicens omnia nunc reficit.
_And He answered them nothing._
O mighty Nothing! unto thee,
Nothing, wee owe all things that bee.
God spake once when Hee all things made,
Hee sav'd all when Hee Nothing said.
The world was made of Nothing then;
'Tis made by Nothing now againe. CR.
