Do I not prove myself?
I but show^[illegible] _^ ^show a scarlet tomato, or a sprig of parsley,
or a paving stone, or some seaweed,
All acknowledge and admire — savans and synods as
much as the rest.
I meet not one heretic or unbeliever,
Could I do as well with the lore of the pulpits?
— the whole or any part of it?
