I saw a (particular) prophet

The stranger fell it opened its mouth

     Wise were its words

“If my own free will and speak

     I my own free will move

Truly, be my will I {…}

     Truly am I love.”

His mouth was shut by a †

A stranger was full and his with us shut

Yet I did not find a † too opened

The awaken up above.

[3v]

I asked an automaton

     What are you?

But he being a {…} machine

     Answered not

___

I asked another one

     What are you It replied

A being great full of power

     To whom nought is denied

The mechanism did fall

     From the mind order it kept

And said no more at all

     I found this funny and wept.
