By the hands of a virgin undefiled.

Make satisfaction, either at men's hands

Will open with his hands; but he himself

Their hands to the broad heaven, shall begin

Rise from the couch at daybreak, always hands

Made with hands shall fall by a flame of fire.

[Stone images and statues made with hands]

Having confidence in his most wicked hands.

Who sometime stretching forth his hands shall make

Sound battle--din nor by a foe's mad hands

Preeminent, whose hands on fruitful tree

Cast down by hands of godless men unjust

The undefiled, whom hands did not produce.

With hands gigantic coming from on high

Beating with thine own hands thy godless breast.

By the holy hands of God, and whom by guile

I now by my hands, and thou by the Word

Baptizing with water by the elders' hands,

Into the hands of lawless men, at last,

To God rude buffetings with impure hands

He'll spread his hands and measure all the world.

As he before was, and in hands and feet

By the hands of a virgin undefiled.

From thine own labors with unsullied hands

With love abounding and with generous hands,

Whom carrying in their hands the youth of Rome

Which thou aforetime didst with masculine hands;
