Impetuous, implacable, whilst Mars,
That savage god of sanguinary wars,
Awaits the award of Arbiters of Peace!
Strange contrast!
"Cease, great hammer-wielder, cease!"
Says the Sword-bearer. "Cease this frenzied fray.
Try Arbitration—'tis the gentler way,
And wiser. I have tried it—shall not you?
Call back your Cyclops, let not them imbrue
Swart hands in Battle's sanguinary hue.
