"Thou shalt not kill!"—Thy words, O God, we heed, Though thy two Soul-devouring Angels feed
 * Thy Promise of another life on this,—

To have spared us both, it were a boon indeed.

Oh I that some one would but return to tell If old Nubakht is burning now in hell,
 * Or if the workers for the Prophet's prize

Are laughing at his Paradisal sell.
