…he gilded goat that plied the world for hire ;— Her days of wealth and majesty are done : Men trample her for mire ! The temple of their God is broken down ; Yea, Mammon’s shrine is cleansed ! The house of her That cowed the world with her malignant frown, And drove the Celt to exile and despair, Is battered now—God’s fire destroys the town ; London admits God’s air. They scorned the god that made them ; yea, they said : “ Lords of this globe, the Saxon race, are we. “ Europe before us lies, as men lie dead ; “ Britannia—ho ! Britannia rules th…

O melancholy ruin, that wert Greece ! What little comfort canst thou take from time ? Years pass, in shameful war or sordid peace— What god can recreate thee, the sublime ? Alas ! let Lethe roll her sleepy seas Over thy ruined clime. O piteous fallen tyranny of Spain ! What dogs are tearing at thy bowels yet ? Let thine own King, saith God, resume his reign ! Loyal and happy seasons may forget The ancient scars. Thy moon is on the wane ? Thy sun may never set ! And thou, foul oligarchy of the West, Thou, soiled with bribes and stained with trea…

…or the sound of them : The mountains are disturbed and roar : the azure hem That laps all lands is broken, lashed in fiery foam, And all God’s thunderbolts are crashed—against my home. Written in heaven, written on earth, written in the deep, Written by God’s own finger-birth ; the stars may weep, The sun rejoice, that see at last His vengeance strike ; The fury of destruction’s blast ; the fiery spike As of an arrow of adamant, comet or meteor : “ The dog returneth to his vomit : the ancient whore That sitteth upon many waters, even she That c…

… his forehead, Gold sparks from the forge of the stars, His shield with the Gorgon made horrid Hath blood on its bull-battled bars— Thou God of me, Mars ! He strides through the vibrating aether ; Spurns earth from His warrior feet ; Shakes fire from the forges beneath her ; His glances are fervid and fleet. With a cry that makes tremble the thunder, Light-speared, with a sword that is flame, He bursts the vast spaces asunder. His angels arise and proclaim : The Lord is His Name ! O Lord ! Thou didst march out of Edom ! Thou leapedst from the M…

…se of love and light. My lips, that drank the Heliconian rill, Murmur with slow delight. I see the faces of the lyric Nine ! The Rose of God its petals will unfold !

Therefore reign thou, saith God, august, alone, White-winged to East and West, an albatross, “ Abdul the Damned, on thy infernal throne ! ” Allah can wed the Crescent and the Cross ! According to the wisdom thou hast shown Mete thou thy gain and loss ! 13
