A clamour rises from the ranks in heaven’s hall.
If with his blood, in pride, thou stain thy teeth just now,
The toothache shall avenge him; dentist’s victim thou.
The lion saw himself reflected in the well.
Through blindest rage himself from foe he could not tell.435
He thought his own reflection was his hated foe,
And slew himself while seeking on him to work woe.
So tyrant, when thou seest injustice in the world,
Thyself behold. Those deeds thy banner have unfurled.
Thine are included with them in God’s just decree.
