Father of Marcion
Philologus of Sinope
Holy Emissary of the Chrestos
One of the seventy stars
Lit by the heavenly Son of the Good
Shining over the Black Sea
A babe was raised by that star for the Church
Rays of great enlightenment
Raised the boy’s soul to the heavenly Good
The star’s love for the Logos
Tore away the man’s tight shackles of death
A fisherman blessed the star
The shipmaster carried the head of Paul
The star was Philologus
His son’s name was Marcion of Sinope
