And merchants of the town; and they,

Who march to death, the fighting way;

And there are lovers in the spring,

With those, who dance, and those, who sing:

The commonwealth of every day,

Eastward and westward, far away,

Once the sun paled; once cried aloud

The Roman, from beneath the cloud:

This day the Son of God is dead!

Yet heed men, what the Roman said?
