_Mulieri incurvatae medetur Dominus, indignante Archisynagogo._ Luc.
xiii. 11.
In proprios replicata sinus quae repserat, et jam
Daemonis, infelix, nil nisi nodus erat,
Solvitur ad digitum Domini: sed strictior illo
Unicus est nodus; cor, Pharisaee, tuum.
_The bowed-down woman healed by the Lord, the Synagogue-ruler is
displeased._
Creeping and doubled erewhile in her woe,
Lo, now she stands erect: Christ willed it so.
Daemonic knots are loos'd beneath His hands;
But thy heart, Pharisee, still rigid stands. G.
