Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and
rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:

steal:
For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

Think each in each, immediately wise;
Learn all we lacked before; hear, know, and say
What this tumultuous body now denies;
And feel, who have laid our groping hands away;
And see, no longer blinded by our eyes.
