So he has now revealed himself?---a sign?---
performed in private at a recent wedding
in Cana? Water transformed into wine?
They say the quality was rather fine.
And we know where, exactly, this is heading.
We must act quickly, or have hell to pay.
We must strike first and hard. This very day
go forth, you seven sinister, to the
westward seaside resort called Magdala.
A certain woman there, by name of Mary,
was Jesus' heart's friend in their blushing years
of adolescence. You may have your way
with her---torment relentlessly, and tarry.
Embody for her all the worst of fear.
Bring her to terror in the night and tears.
Her soul's cry will reach him, and draw him near.
He will come by---after what they had shared---
and he will find you eager and prepared.
He must be stopped before he sheds that blood.
The time has come to nip this in the bud.
