"LATE CAME THE GOD"
Late came the God, having sent his forerunners who were not regarded -- / Late, but in wrath; / Saying: "The wrong shall be paid, the contempt be rewarded On all that she hath. " / He poisoned the blade and struck home, the full bosom receiving / The wound and the venom in one, past cure or relieving.
