Deep pondering o'er, As the question I revolved, I would have the mystery solved: 'T is for that I 'm here, then see It is not to speak with thee. (CHRYSANTHUS: Speak, what doubt wouldst thou decide?) Thou hast said a God once died Through His boundless love to me: Now to bring thee to conviction Let me this one strong point try... (CHRYSANTHUS: What?) To be a God, and die, Doth imply a contradiction. And if thou dost still deny To my god the name divine, And reject him in thy scorn For beginning, I opine, If thy God could die, that mine Might as easily be born.
