_Christus a daemone vectus._ Matt. iv.
Ergo ille, angelicis o sarcina dignior alis,
Praepete sic Stygio, sic volet ille vehi.
Pessime! nec laetare tamen tu scilicet inde,
Non minus es daemon, non minus ille Deus.
_Christ carried by the devil._
Will He--O burden worthier angels' wings!--
Deign to be carried by swift fiend of hell?
Vilest! to thee this no advancement brings;
He no less God, thou no less demon fell. G.
