"Crowning of Jesus Christ with Thorns" by Dirck van Baburen

Asinus aUreus desired bird wings

Instead, light Zephyr Psyche to Eros brings,

.

a rose veiled under the crown of thorns,

dishonored by eclipse of our occult cruel sights,

.

exposed in naked flesh

penetrated Heart of Heaven,

Lover’s suffering wound

enduring dissipation cortege,

.

to all time providence

river power

manger

.

this Reddest Rose of Eden, manna fragrant,

.

that reed trashes,

The highest fruit on lowest branches

.

mystery of Christ divine

metamorphosis gold of ours.
