Andrew Macphail, comp. The Book of Sorrow. 1916.
Chorus from MedeaLord de Tabley (John Byrne Leicester Warren) (18351895)
S
Calm are the shades of men.
The phantom fears no tyrant in his seat,
The slave is master then.
We knew him best as Pain.
The gods are all cast out, and let them go,
Who ever found them gain?
So, while thou breathest, pray.
But in the sepulchre all flesh has peace;
Their hand is put away.
