Satan and Lilith

by

Listen in the reader

Satan, yawning on his brazen seat. Fondles a screaming thing his fiends have flayed. Ere Lilith come his indolence to greet. Who leads from hell his whitest queens, arrayed In chains so heated at their master's Are That one new-damned had thought their bright attire Indeed were coral, till the dazzling dance So terribly that brilliance shall enhance.
