    So for thy spirit did devise
    Its Maker seemly garniture,
    Of its own essence parcel pure.--
    From grave simplicities a dress,
    And reticent demureness,
    And love encinctured with reserve;
    Which the woven vesture would subserve.
    For outward robes in their ostents
    Should show the soul's habiliments.
    Therefore I say,--Thou'rt fair even so,
    But better Fair I use to know.

Which, as it seems, make thee.

He shows his clothes! alas! he shows himself.
O that they knew, these overdrest self-lovers,
What hides the body oft the mind discovers.

All button'd down before.

And they took him, and cast him into a pit: and the pit was
empty, there was no water in it.
