And a weapon's at hand, too long left there unlifted,
That Law and that Justice alike now commend
To the grip of Europa. Be murder short-shrifted
And bestial outrage meet summary end!
Not again must hot Islamite hate be permitted
In chase of creed-vengeance the East to embroil;
Not again must its prey fall unaided, unpitied,
The Gallio's mock, and the miscreant's spoil.
There hangs the good Berlin-blade, consecrated
By common agreement to Justice's work!
