  1. A father’s hands defiling: which the way
  2. Without its evils, say?
  3. How shall I turn fleet-fugitive,
  4. Failing of duty to allies?
  5. Since for a wind-abating sacrifice
  6. And virgin blood, — ’t is right they strive,
  7. Nay, madden with desire.
  8. Well may it work them — this that they require!
