Now, at this end of Adam's line I stand
Holding my father's life-curse in my hand,
Doing no one the wrong that he did me:—
Ah, would that he were barren as the sand!
CVI
Ay, thus thy children, though they sovereigns be,
When truth upon them dawns, will turn on thee,
Who cast them into life's dark labyrinth
Where even old Izrail can not see.
