_Liquid and powder combine to form power
when painted on parchment by pen.
Remember: those fingers on which ink stains linger
have altered the world and its ken._
Socrates, Hippocrates,
poets and thinkers of Greece
their wisdom impart by way of that art
that lets our knowledge increase.
_Liquid and powder combine to form power
when painted on parchment by pen.
Remember: those fingers on which ink stains linger
have altered the world and its ken._
Fierce barons fought, by Charter they sought
to chain a strong king in his pride.
John fixed on his seal, but tried to repeal,
and fighting its power he died.
_Liquid and powder combine to form power
when painted on parchment by pen.
Remember: those fingers on which ink stains linger
have altered the world and its ken._
Do not forget the most vital yet,
or your soul will bear the cost:
the most holy Word left by our Lord,
without which we all would be lost.
_Liquid and powder combine to form power
when painted on parchment by pen.
Remember: those fingers on which ink stains linger
have altered the world and its ken._
