ON GUARD

Halt! Who comes there? Care.

Word, friend or foe! Woe.

What is thy will? Ill.

Who sent thee here? Fear.

Where doth he dwell? Hell!

Name me his mate! Hate.

What is their palace? Malice.

What are their crowns? Frowns.

Show me the way! Nay;

One from above, Greater than Wrath, Stands in thy path. Who is he?—Love!
