Will not he stir—will he not breathe again?

Still as a log—still as his own dead lamb.

Dead is it then? O wonderful! O strange!

Dead! dead! And we can slay each other then?

If we are wronged, why we can right ourselves;

If we are plagued and pestered with a fool

That will not let us be, nor leave us room

To do our will and shape our path in peace,

We can be rid of him. There—he is gone;

Victory! victory! victory! My heaven,
