[to Fire.] I will whisper it in her ear.<br>Fire. No! no! no! <br>Spirits hear what spirits tell:<br>'Twill make a holiday in Hell.<br>No! no! no! <br>Myself, I named him once below,<br>And all the souls, that damned be,<br>Leaped up at once in anarchy,<br>Clapped their hands and danced for glee.<br>They no longer heeded me,<br>But laughed to hear Hell's burning rafters<br>Unwillingly re-echo laughters!<br>No! no! no!<br>Spirits hear what spirits tell:<br>'Twill make a holiday in Hell!<br>Fam. Whisper it, sister! so and so!<br>In a dark hint, soft and slow. <br>Slau. Letters four do form his name -- <br>And who sent you?<br>Both. The same! the same!<br>Slau. He came by stealth, and unlocked my den,<br>And I have drunk the blood since then<br>Of thrice three hundred thousand men.<br>Both. Who bade you do it?<br>Slau. The same! the same!<br>Letters four do form his name.<br>He let me loose, and cried Halloo!<br>To him alone the praise is due. <br>Fam. Thanks, sister, thanks! the men have bled,<br>Their wives and their children faint for bread.<br>I stood in a swampy field of battle;<br>With bones and skulls I made a rattle,<br>To frighten the wolf and carrion-crow<br>And the homeless dog -- but they would not go.<br>So off I flew: for how could I bear<br>To see them gorge their dainty fare?<br>I heard a groan and a peevish squall,<br>And through the chink of a cottage-wall -- <br>Can you guess what I saw there?<br>Both. Whisper it, sister! in our ear.<br>Fam. A baby beat its dying mother;<br>I had starved the one and was starving the other!<br>Both. Who bade you do't?<br>Fam. The same! the same!<br>Letters four do form his name.<br>He let me loose, and cried Halloo!<br>To him alone the praise is due.<br>Fire. Sisters! I from Ireland came! <br>Hedge and corn-fields all on flame,<br>I triumphed o'er the setting sun!<br>And all the while the work was done,<br>On as I strode with my huge strides,<br>I flung back my head and I held my sides,<br>It was so rare a piece of fun<br>To see the sweltered cattle run<br>With uncouth gallop through the night,<br>Scared by the red and noisy light!<br>By the light of his own blazing cot <br>Was many a naked rebel shot:<br>The house-stream met the flame and hissed,<br>While crash! fell in the roof, I wist,<br>On some of those old bed-rid nurses,<br>That deal in discontent and curses.<br>Both. Who bade you do't?<br>Fire. The same! the same!<br>Letters four do form his name.<br>He let me loose, and cried Halloo!<br>To him alone the praise is due.<br>All. He let us loose, and cried Halloo!<br>How shall we yield him honor due?<br>Fam. Wisdom comes with lack of food.<br>I'll gnaw, I'll gnaw the multitude,<br>Till the cup of rage o'erbrim:<br>They shall seize him and his brood--<br>Slau. They shall tear him limb from limb!<br>Fire. O thankless beldames and untrue!<br>And is this all that you can do <br>For him, who did so much for you?<br>Ninety months he, by my troth!<br>Hath richly catered for you both:<br>And in an hour would you repay<br>An eight years' work? -- Away! away!<br>I alone am faithful! I <br>Cling to him everlastingly.</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=Samuel+Taylor+Coleridge">Samuel Taylor Coleridge</a><div class=q>
