And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Moses, one of his young men, answered and said, My lord Moses, forbid them. My lord Moses, forbid them -
How often have I blindly done
What zealous Joshua did,
Impatient to the rulers run,
And cried, "My lords, forbid!
Silence the schismatics, constrain
Their thoughts with ours t' agree,
And sacrifice the souls of men
To idol unity!"
