Hate's indiscriminate earthquake, letting loose
Of all the fiends of blood, and fire, and wind:
Sheer wreck of hearth and altar, home and State,
Rending of reverenced ties, love desolate,
Order submerged; these are the Gorgon's hopes,
Which Law must frustrate ere 'tis all too late.
Smite Perseus! Wield the unhesitating brand
With steadfast heart and with unfaltering hand;
And from the grosser Gorgon of our day
Free, in Humanity's cause, each harried land!
