What is Truth? said jesting Pilate,
Waiting not for a reply;
What is Truth? the laboring Helot
Asks, while he his task doth fly.
Not in meanness, can they bind it,
Bondman low or noble Prince;
But in God's right hand they find it,
As His power they evince.
There, oh Pilate, cease thy quest!
There, oh, Slave, wait God's behest.
