"O, ONE CAME DOWN FROM SEVEN HILLS"

"Nay, rather pray the seven gods
 To launch the latest pain;
For there be many things to do
 Ere we see peace again."

"Then I'll go praise the seven gods
 With hymns and chauntings seven,
Such as shall split the mountain-tops
 And shrivel up blue heaven:
That there be men who mock at threats
 And wag their heads at strife,
Love home above their own hearts' blood
 And honour more than life."
