When comes the poet's eye;
The street begins to masquerade
Where Shakespeare passes by.

And loves his traitor well;

Explores his lowest hell.
Freedom, the method in religion, in place of Authority;
Fellowship, the spirit in religion, in place of Sectarianism;
Character, the test in religion, in place of Ritual or Creed;
Service, or Salvation of Others, the aim in religion, in place of Salvation of Self.
