Of two defeats, of two despairs:

Less dread, a change to drifting dust,

Than thine eternity of cares.

Do what thou wilt, thou shalt not so,

Dark Angel! triumph over me:

Lonely, unto the Lone I go;

Divine, to the Divinity.

TE MARTYRUM CANDIDATUS

By Lionel Johnson

Ah, see the fair chivalry come, the companions of Christ!
