Judas Iscariot, dark of eye,

Satan and Faustus and Lorraine,

And Heliogabalus with his train....

The air was sweet with a delicate sound

Of silk things rustling on the ground,

Jewels and silver twinkled, dim,

Voices and laughter circled him....

After a while the clock struck two,

A whisper among the audience flew,

And Judy before him came and knelt
