VOTIVE TABLETS: THE PROSELYTE MAKER by JOHANN CHRISTOPH FRIEDRICH VON SCHILLER

First Line: A LITTLE EARTH FROM OUT THE EARTH -- AND I
Last Line: MYSELF TO TAKE:—SUCCEED, AND I AM THINE!

"A LITTLE earth from out the Earth — and I
The Earth will move:" so spake the Sage divine.
Out of myself one little moment—try
Myself to take:—succeed, and I am thine!
