English poem
Xii
by R. D. Blackmore (1825–1900)
"What are those unholy pagans? Can they ride? No more than Dagons. Fishtails ne'er could sit a steed; That belongs to Esau's seed.
"I will make thee Queen of far lands, Flocks, and herds, and camel-trains, Milk and honey, fruit and garlands, Vines and venison, woods and wains.
"God is with us; He shall speed us; Or (if this vile crew impede us) Let some light into their brain, By the sword of Tubal Cain."
