Hi II lilt. liMI-LASs IN CUIUS. Wa* turned to gold, the Ijord from tho floor lifted, And «et it in tho fallen outcast's forehead ; The gold yet in the crucible he fashioned Into u red-hot kingh crown, and pressed it Down on his snaky finir until the circlet Itarnt to tho very bono. Gold chains he twisted Tight round his neck, well nigh to strangulation ; And that still iu the tnclting-|ot remaining, Upon the ground he |ourcd it, cruciform-wise, So that it formed a Cross, which ho uplifting I'jion his back laid, and to earth so bent him 11» could not lift his head again for ovt r. Two Deaths he set as sentinels Imtido him : One, Death of Life, and Death of Ilojie the other ; IL- cannot see tho first's sword, yet it smites him, Hut sees tho other's jmlm, yet it evades him ; So languishes the outcast Haphometns, Through years four thousand and moons four and forty, Till once a Saviour from his own seed risen Shall como at last, redeem him and deliver.
