And stiffens in the bristly nape of neck,

Daring you drive him hence! You, Christians both?

I say, if ever was such faith at all

Born in the world, by your community

Suffered to live its little tick of time,

'Tis dead of age, now, ludicrously dead;

Honor its ashes, if you be discreet,

In epitaph only! For, concede its death,

Allow extinction, you may boast unchecked

What feats the thing did in a crazy land
