Ecclesiastical Sonnets - Part I. - XIII - Casual Incitement
A bright-haired company of youthful slaves, Beautiful strangers, stand within the pale Of a sad market, ranged for public sale, Where Tiber's stream the immortal City laves: Angli by name; and not an Angel waves His wing who could seem lovelier to man's eye Than they appear to holy Gregory; Who, having learnt that name, salvation craves For Them, and for their Land. The earnest Sire, His questions urging, feels, in slender ties Of chiming sound, commanding sympathies; De-Irians, he would save them from God's ire; Subjects of Saxon Aella, they shall sing Glad Halle-lujahs to the eternal King!
