Who many of the human race awoke to life and breath, 300 Giving for death that life primeval made at first for man ; 305 And so ye, blind of spirit, truth with lies to mix began.
Hatred with mercy, and in cruel baseness wrong devised ; Henceforth in deep damnation dwell, ye who have God despised.
His glorious majesty ye judged, and lived in errors vain, 310 And thoughts of darkness to this day. Go quickly back again.
And seek out men of power, within whose souls are richly dwelling The holy wor
...d and righteous laws, who all your race ex- 315 celling, Can truly tell and give to me answer before your face.
To each and all the signs whereof I ask them in this place.'' Silent and sad of mood each one, the law-learned men depart.
With fear alarmed, by care o'ercome, to seek with anxious 320 heart 32 cynewulf's 'ELENE.' For men whose souls most deeply were by sacred writ inspired, That they might to the queen return the answer she desired, Nor good nor ill withhold; then through the concourse 325 searching wide, A thousand earnest men they found, who deeply had descried The story of the Jews of old, and had in soul grown great.
