Ye mighty men of arms come forth,

And work your will, for that is just;

And in your impulse put your trust,

Beneath your feet the fools are dust.

Alas, alas! O grief and wrong,

The good are weak, the wicked strong;

And O my God, how long, how long!

Dong, there is no God; dong.

Ring, ting; to bow before the strong,

There is a rapture too in this;
