Wait not thy lords the avenging, certain knell—

One with the captains and abhorrent fames

The echoes of whose conquests died in Hell?—

They that have loosened the ensanguined flood,

And whose malign and execrable names

The Seraph of the Record writes in blood.

IV

From gravid trench and sullen parapet,

Profane the wounded lands with mine or shell!

Turn thou upon the world thy cannons’ Hell,
