In the armoury of hell<br>Which engine is not his? His name infects<br>The air of every zone, and to each tongue<br>From Hecla to the Ganges adds a word<br>That kills all terms of pride. His servants sit<br>In empires round his empire; and outspread<br>As land beneath the water, oh, my God,<br>His kingdoms bear the half of all Thy stars!<br>Who hath out-told his princes? Who hath summed<br>His captains? From the number of his hosts<br>He should forget a nation and not lack!<br>Therefore, oh Lord God, give us victory!</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br>The serf is in his hut; the unsacred sire<br>Who can beget no honour. Lo his mate<br>Dim thro' the reeking garlic-she whose womb<br>Doth shape his ignorant shame, and whose young slave<br>In some far field thickens a knouted hide<br>For baser generations. Their dull eyes<br>Are choked with feudal welfare; their rank limbs<br>Steam in the stye of plenty; their rude tongues,<br>That fill the belly from the common trough,<br>Discharge in gobbets of as gross a speech<br>That other maw the heart. Nor doth the boor<br>Refuse his owner's chattel tho' she breed<br>The rich man's increase, nor doth she disdain<br>The joyless usage of such limbs as toil<br>Yoked with the nobler ox, and take as mute<br>A beast's infliction; at her stolid side<br>The girl that shall be such a thing as she,<br>Suckles the babe she would not, with the milk<br>A bondmaid owes her master. Lord, Thou seest!<br>Therefore, oh Lord God, give us victory!</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br>The captive straineth at the dungeon-grate.<br>Behold, oh Lord, the secret of the rock,<br>The dungeon, and the captive, and the chain!<br>Tho' it be hidden under forest leaves,<br>Tho' it be on the mountains among clouds,<br>Tho' they point to it as a crag o' the hill,<br>And say concerning it that the wind waileth,<br>Thou knowest the inner secret and the sin!<br>I see his white face at the dungeon bars,<br>As snow between the bars of winter trees.<br>He sinketh down upon the dungeon stones,<br>His white face making light within the dungeon,<br>The claspèd whiteness of his praying hands<br>Flickering a little light within the dungeon.<br>And thro' the darkness, thro' the cavern darkness,<br>Like to a runnel in a savage wood,<br>Sweet thro' the horror of the hollow dark<br>He sings the song of home in the strange land.</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br>How long, oh Lord of thunder?
