Like Solomon?—his bidding, while he stood

In his obedience and first state of good,

The upper and the under worlds obeyed—

All spirits, good and evil; yea, he made

Hell’s concourse and involuntary brood

Do drudging work for him—hew stones, bring wood,

And in the rearing of God’s temple aid.

But when he fell from God, the self-same hour

They fell from him—against him dared to turn,

Defied his might, his ring, his seal of power;
