That each to his own gods be faithful still；
Let each still search for truth； and truth adore。
（To Felix）。
A Christian thou？ Then fear my wrath no more；
Thy sect I cherish； this their awful cult
Severus will protect； but ne'er insult。
Keep thou thy power from Roman sword secure；
So long as loyalty with faith endure；
I swear it： ay； the Emperor shall learn
The guiltless from the traitor to discern；
His persecution baseless as his fear。
FELIX。
Severusthou who hast the hearing ear；
Freeman of RomeGod's Spirit grant thee grace
To be Christ's Freeman； and behold His face：
To theseChrist's martyrsearth's last rites be given；
Earth； guard their ashes as a trust for Heaven！
Earth hides their dust。 When envious time is o'er；
That dust shall wake to life for evermore！
