    Let me make the superstitions of a nation and I care not who makes its laws or its songs either.

    Under his own vine what he plants, and sing
    The merry songs of peace to all his neighbors.

    Lives eternal in the sky,
    While we mortals yield to nature,
    Bloom awhile, then fade and die.
