Liber Al vel Legis

of the English Alphabet; thou shalt find new symbols to attribute them unto. 56. Begone! ye mockers; even though ye laugh in my honour ye shall laugh not long: then when you are sad know that I have for- saken you. 57. He that is righteous shall be righteous still; he that is filthy shall be filthy still. 58. Yea! deem not of change: ye shall be as ye are, and not other. Therefore the kings of the earth shall be kings for ever. The slaves shall serve. There is none that shall be cast down or lifted up: all is ever as it was. Yet there are masked ones my servants: it may be that yonder beggar is a King. A King may choose his garments as he will: there is no certain test: but a beggar cannot hide his poverty. 59. Beware therefore! Love all, lest per- chance is a King concealed! Say you so? Fool! If he be a King, thou canst not hurt him. 60. Therefore strike hard and low, and to hell with them, master! 61. There is a light before thine eyes, Ο prophet, a light undesired, most desirable. 20
