from Divine Epigrams
Upon the Asse that bore our Saviour.
Hath onely Anger an Omnipotence
In Eloquence?
Within the lips of Love and Joy doth dwell
No miracle?
Why else had Baalams Asse a tongue to chide
His Masters pride?
And thou (Heaven-burthen'd Beast!) hast ne're a word
To praise thy Lord?
That he should find a Tongue and vocall Thunder,
Was a great wonder.
But ô me thinkes 'tis a farre greater one
That thou find'st none.
– Richard Crashaw, Steps to the Temple (1648)
