Thou hast the peace of the stars in the great spaces of the field of night, marking their luminous track-plows of silver guided by the sure hand of the invisible ox-herd. Music, serene music, how sweet is thy moony light to eyes wearied of the harsh brilliance of this world's sun!
The ox-herd will tell you: There is a pair of oxen done for! his brother is dead, and this one will work no more. He ought to be fattened for killing; but we cannot get him to eat, and in a short time he will have starved himself to death."
I know him, and at times we have talks together, he and I. He tells me of the days when he was an ox-herd on Mount Garganus...." But here Fra Mino interrupted the Satyr: "I cannot suffer you to say St. Michael was an ox-herd, because he guarded the cattle of a man whose name was Garganus, the same as the Mountain. But there, I would fain learn, old man, how you were made a Saint."
