Despairing shriek, triumphant hate,—transfixed,
Both he who takes and she who yields the life.
"As ye become spectators of this scene—
Watch obscuration of a pearl-pure fame
By vapory films, enwoven circumstance,
—A soul made weak by its pathetic want
Of just the first apprenticeship to sin,
Which thenceforth makes the sinning soul secure
From all foes save itself, soul's truliest foe,—
Since egg turned snake needs fear no serpentry,—
