"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."
