    “The sable presbyters approach
    The avenue of penitence;

    “Here thou art painted in the dress
    Of an inhuman murderess;
    Examining upon our hearts
    Thy fertile shop of cruel arts:
    Engines more keen than ever yet
    Adorned tyrant’s cabinet,
    Of which the most tormenting are
    Black eyes, red lips, and curled hair.”

    Drunk and asleep in his boots,
    Catches tigers
    In red weather.”
