Paradoxical
Death killed by his own knife
A thief stealing his own life
Fear in the closet hiding
A critic himself criticizing
Anger scolded and burning
The head from the heart learning
Lust by innocence tempted
Day by night resurrected
Strength by weakness beaten
Hunger by a glutton eaten
The law caught and found guilty
Dirt by purity made filthy
Humility celebrated and crowned
A fool of his foolishness proud
