"To thee particularly and to all the Volsces

"Great hurt and mischief . . . ."

---William Shakespeare, Coriolanus, IV:5

You are the star that represents damnation,

Lake Fire (forever seething conflagration)

and all things hellish---all contamination

that God removes from His great congregation,

that multitude redeemed into Salvation.

Your evil never finds least mitigation;

it is, instead, the fullest demonstration

of your nature's collection and collation

of hatred---and its horrors, and their shames

expressed in multitudes of lingual games.

Your words are a pretense to Poetry;

and, of that Art, a stinking travesty;

but this will not intrude on exultation

when we have entered Love's eternity.
