يا مَارُوتَ الْمُسْتَحِقِّينَ لِلْقُرْبَانِ، إِنَّ اسْمَكُمْ نَفْسَهُ حَلَاوَةُ عَسَلٍ؛ فِي الْيَجْنَا تَنْدَفِعُونَ إِلَى الأَمَامِ، مُنْتَشِينَ بِقُوَّةٍ وَاعِيَةٍ (شَفَس). أَنْتُمُ الَّذِينَ تَهُزُّونَ حَتَّى الْعَالَمَيْنِ الْوَاسِعَيْنِ، وَتُفِيضُونَ النَّبْعَ الْخَفِيَّ حِينَ تُحَرِّكُونَ—أَنْتُمُ الأَقْوِيَاءُ—طَاقَاتِكُمْ.
