D. He dared the chain, he dared the scoffing word

They which should have been last to slay him, slew

All this hath yon man suffered righteously.

Yea, and the nation's doom I will not hide

That they must leave this city, expiate

The impious pollution of his murder,

And see no more their own land: that were sin.

All woes thou too must suffer will I tell.
