121 | O vainglorious Christians, miserable wretches! | ||||||
|
 |
|
|
 |
|
122 | Sick in the visions engendered in your minds, | ||||||
|
|
|
|
 |
|
123 | you put your trust in backward steps. | ||||||
|
|
|
|
|
|
124 | Do you not see that we are born as worms, | ||||||
|
|
 |
|
|
|
125 | though able to transform into angelic butterflies | ||||||
|
|
 |
|
|
|
126 | that unimpeded soar to justice? | ||||||
|
|
|
|
|
|
127 | What makes your mind rear up so high? | ||||||
|
|
|
|
|
|
128 | You are, as it were, defective creatures, | ||||||
|
 |
|
|
|
|
129 | like the unformed worm, shaped from the mud. | ||||||
