Capitolo 26
But the walls of building have withered,
And partly the overthrown,
And the storms of war, in their violence,
You/he/she has loosened the angle-stone.
The Famine now walks stiff through the rooms of building,
With his/her lean and pale train;
You can feel the whine of hungry men,
As they cries in vain for bread.
The king can see, from his/her walls of building.
An earth from his/her betrayed pride;
Thousand of mothers and wives it bereft.
Thousand of graves it new-did.
And he seems to see in the sky that lowers,,
The form of a flaming sword;
Whereon that he reads, with a heart in sinking,
The God's anger.
God the speed the time when the guilty king
You/he/she will be launched by his/her blood-stained throne;
And the building of Badly it will crumble to dust,
With his/her boasted angle-stone.
A temple of the Liberty will rise instead,
On the desecrated place:
And inside his/her similar refuge it will be standing
The bogy man and the white.
OUT OF THE EGITTO.
To the king of Egypt close to that it dominated
The flow of the river of reed,
Come to the command of God, "Releases, the king of Or,
And he/she let my people go."
The proud heart of the king quickly grew very hard;
He marked the suppliant crowd,
It is said, "No, they owes here you bear;
The weak have to serve the strong ones."
Straightway that the God is stretched before the hand,
And every brook worked blood;
The river swept toward the sea--
A full ensanguined floods.
The king of haughty he/she saw the earth,
From afflicted sore aching,
But, as it is God he/she wonders multiplied,
Hardened his/her heart the more;
Up to that the God's angel
Come at night to the wings,
It is first-born smote of man and beast,
In his/her destructive flight.
In every whole Egypt, not a house
This highest pain was saved.
Then it broke the stubborn wish of the tyrant;
He offered the people they go.
They gathered on their flocks and herds,
Cheering himself/herself/itself to be I free;
And, going on, a mighty innkeeper,
Camped close to the sea.
Then the heart of Pharaoh was him/it reformed;
