Sonnet II
His eyes were hell, his gaze their fiery blade
That stabbed a living soul, and burned its heart
For his own heart, dark under Satan’s shade
Had long forgotten its innocent start
Vengeful devil, summit of all evil
The rueful sky heard your summon to war
Your will destroyed, your malice did revel
On mounds of gold that hid the morning star
You were unwary of god’s wrathful eye
Whose will did blast the clouds and split the ground
And then your bane was thundered from the sky
Oh! Forgive us lord! What a furious sound!
And where, once a tyrannous crown did gleam
Naught remained, save a memory too dim
