" As faith thus sanctified the warrior's crest"

  As faith thus sanctified the warrior's crest
  While from the Papal Unity there came,
  What feebler means had failed to give, one aim
  Diffused thro' all the regions of the West;
  So does her Unity its power attest
  By works of Art, that shed, on the outward frame
  Of worship, glory and grace, which who shall blame
  That ever looked to heaven for final rest?
  Hail countless Temples! that so well befit
  Your ministry; that, as ye rise and take 
  Form spirit and character from holy writ,
  Give to devotion, wheresoe'er awake,
  Pinions of high and higher sweep, and make
  The unconverted soul with awe submit.
