Book Four The Church of the Slavers

 See, underneath the Crown of Thorn,
      The eye-balls fierce, the features grim!
  And merrily from night to morn
      We chaunt his praise and worship him—
Great Christus-Jingo, at whose feet Christian and Jew and Atheist meet!

A wondrous god! most fit for those
      Who cheat on ‘Change, then creep to prayer;
  Blood on his heavenly altar flows,
      Hell’s burning incense fills the air,
  And Death attests in street and lane
  The hideous glory of his reign.
