Must the fairy herself-Euphrosyne-cometosuch a muddy vesture in the end?

Leave behind what poet call ' muddy vesture of decay.'

He found "harmony in immortal souls, spite of the muddy vesture of decay."

Temptations will never cease to attack the soul as long as it inhabits this " muddy vesture of decay."

Therein enter those who are to lay aside "this muddy vesture of decay," for the changeless garb of the Beyond.

But the dull and the gross, who only suffer and endure, the muddy vesture of decay closes them in and they cannot hear it.

One obstacle alone stood between man and his redemption, the vile body, "this muddy vesture of decay," that so grossly wrapped his soul.
