Were thicker than itself with brother’s blood,

To wash it white as snow?”

I give this heavy weight from off my head,
And this unwieldy sceptre from my hand,
The pride of kingly sway from out my heart.
With mine own tears I wash away my balm,
With mine own hands I give away my crown.”

slipping blue as an undressed minnow,
gulping in the shower to wash the Jew off him.”
