THE KASÎDAH IV, 49, 60

“Your childish fears would seek a Sire,
 by the non-human God defin’d,
“What your five wits may wot ye weet;
 what is you please to dub ‘design’d;’

“You bring down Heav’en to vulgar Earth;
 your maker like yourselves you make,
“You quake to own a reign of Law,
 you pray the Law its laws to break;

“You pray, but hath your thought e’er weighed
 how empty vain the prayer must be,
“That begs a boon already giv’en,
 or craves a change of law to see?
