By John Hall Ingham (18601931)
O
Is of themselves alone, and not of thee!
They are condemned at last. Thou goest free
By the high court of Heaven. One lowly, meek,
A Jew, despised of Roman and Greek,
Hath once before turned doom to victory;
And God and Right will thwart eternally
The vengeance that these human devils seek.
France languished on her way, till her decrees,
Moulded by perjuries and forgeries,
Devote undying Justice to the dust,
Nor heed the awful writing on the wall
That she who loseth Honor loseth all!
