    unchangeable law through the eternal constitution and association
    of latent causes, which have been long before predestined.
    [Lat., Equidem aeterna constitutione crediderim nexuque causarum
    atentium et multo ante destinatarum suum quemque ordinem
    immutabili lege percurrere.]

Out of the dead, cold ashes,

Mounts from her funeral pyre on wings of flame,
And soars and shines, another and the same.
