Sal Lumen and Spiritus Mundi Philosophici

PHILON. Leaving the two strongest titles out of the case, You produce the inventory and extract of misfortunes, And, to make the cause obscure and divided, You portray the whole man in his lesser part: A part in which, even amid humanity, there shines Something great that gives a sense of his divinity. But consider man in his more worthy form, A form from which a splendid light sparkles, Compelling every other animal to fear him, To receive his laws and submit to being tamed.
