The threatening thunders throbbing through their throat.

Usurper! under uniform unwont

Vail valor’s vaguest venture, vainest vaunt.

Well wot we which were wise. War’s wildfire won

Ximenes, Xerxes, Xavier, Xenophon:

Yet you, ye yearning youth, your young years yield

Zuinglius’ zealot zest—Zinzendorf zion-zealed.

CACOPHONOUS COUPLET ON CARDINAL WOLSEY.

Begot by butchers, but by bishops bred,

How high his honor holds his haughty head!
