Marc. vii. 33, 36.
Voce manuque simul linguae tu, Christe, ciendae:
Sistendae nudis vocibus usus eras.
Sane at lingua equus est pronis effusus habenis:
Vox ciet, at sistit non nisi tota manus.
_The deaf healed._
To wake the tongue--voice, hand too, Christ would use;
To check it, but a bare word of command.
Really, the tongue is as a horse rein'd-loose--
Starts at a word, stay'd only with strong hand. R. WI.
