     And change their faiths; but I yield all alike
     Sweet water for their drinking, sweet as wine,
     And pure sweet water for their lustral rites:
     For thirty generations of my corn
     Outlast a generation of my men,
     And thirty generations of my men
     Outlast a generation of their gods.

   lustral days
   lustral water
