'For Amalric Amal's Son Smid Troll's Son Made Me.

Wherein whether they spoke truth or not, yet their sacrilege did not
remain unpunished; for attempting to return homeward toward the sea
by way of the Nile, they were set upon while weighed down with wine
and sleep, by the country people, and to a man miserably destroyed.
But the pious folk, restoring the holy gold to its pristine
sanctuary, were not unrewarded: for since that day it grows glorious
with ever fresh miracles--as of blind restored to sight, paralytics
to strength, demoniacs to sanity--to the honour of the orthodox
Catholic Church, and of its ever-blessed saints.'

So be it. Pelagia and Philammon, like the rest, went to their own
place; to the only place where such in such days could find rest; to
the desert and the hermit's cell, and then forward into that fairy
land of legend and miracle, wherein all saintly lives were destined
to be enveloped for many a century thenceforth.

And now, readers, farewell. I have shown you New Foes under an old
face--your own likenesses in toga and tunic, instead of coat and
bonnet. One word before we part. The same devil who tempted these
old Egyptians tempts you. The same God who would have saved these
old Egyptians if they had willed, will save you, if you will. Their
sins are yours, their errors yours, their doom yours, their
deliverance yours. There is nothing new under the sun. The thing
which has been, it is that which shall be. Let him that is without
sin among you cast the first stone, whether at Hypatia or Pelagia,
Miriam or Raphael, Cyril or Philammon.
