Await thy throne a thousand dead ; A crown awaits thy brow, A seven-sting scorpion; for thy rod thou hast a bauble now.” The next face spake and said: ‘“* Welcome, O Priest, to me! Red blood shall dye thee robes of red, Hell’s cries thy litany | Thy mitre sits, divided strength, to end thy church and thee !” The third face spake and said: ** Welcome, O Man, to Death!
