IN THIS EPISODE: "There is a Fountain Filled with Blood" by William Cowper (1731-1800) 

When Cowper was 7-years-old, he was singled out as the target of the cruel and relentless designs of a 15-year-old boy at his school. It caused such dread in William’s heart that he was afraid to even lift his eyes upon his persecutor higher than his knees, and he knew him better by his shoe buckles than by any other part of his dress.
