Con-Quest
- Man:
I shall conquer thy planet,
Mine thine ore
From thy secret wells,
Stop thine orbit
Whence thou revolveth.
Thou and thine shall be mine.
God made and giveth.
Earth:
Never!
My reign shall fall to none,
Mine orbit shall last for ever.
Thou come, thou go,
Thou enter, thou exit,
Thou live, thou die.
Thou art a glowing dream that fadeth when I wake,
That fleeth my memory,
That leaveth me more in want than if I never knew thee.
What mattereth thee?
Man:
I am nothing and matter less.
Why mourn for naught?
Thou shalt bask in my compassion,
Accept mine unending pardon,
Yield thyself,
Take off thy guilt.
I shall lead thee,
Direct mine armies over thy glorious mountains,
Tame thy wild parts,
Deftly remove thy blame.
