Enslaved, I descend into this mine

to take from it that which Roman proprietors treasure.

Christ, Himself, has caused my soul to aline

with the joy of Salvation (I seek a double measure).

And though we who labor here are considered dead---

a fate that genteel Romans think of (and shudder) with dread---

Christ has enlivened and nourished me; I have been spiritually fed.
