_Neque ausus fuit quisquam ex illo die eum amplius interrogare._ Matt.
xxii. 46.
Christe, malas fraudes, Pharisaica retia, fallis:
Et miseros sacro discutis ore dolos.
Ergo tacent tandem, atque invita silentia servant:
Tam bene non aliter te potuere loqui.[56]
_Neither durst any man from that day forth ask Him any more questions._
Nets, frauds of Pharisees, the Lord beguiles;
His sacred lips disperse the wretched wiles.
So they were silent--enforc'd so to be:
Such silence, Lord, their best address to Thee. G.
