For there is one only blessedness, common to all the faithful of the whole world. The Patriarchs, Prophets, Apostles, and Martyrs achieve all one felicity. They see the River on either side, and the same running out of the Sanctuary, or seat of God. They see on either side the river, trees planted that bring forth the fruits of life. They bring forth fruits every month fresh and new: and the leaves of either do heal. I suppose the old Poets borrowed out of the Scriptures such things as they wrote in verses concerning Ambrosia and Nectar, the meat and drink of the Goddes.1 That short verse of Martial is known.
