| - | |
| I STOOD in P re la Chaise The putrid City | B |
| Paris the harlot of the nations lay | C |
| The bug bright thing that knows not love nor pity | B |
| Flashing her bare shame to the summer's day | C |
| Here where I stand they slew you brothers whom | D |
| Hell's wrongs unutterable had made as mad | E |
| The rifle shots re echoed in his tomb | D |
| The gilded scoundrel's who had been so glad | E |
| O Morny O blood sucker of thy race | F |
| O brain O hand that wrought out empire that | G |
| The lust in one for power for tinsel place | F |
| Might rest one lecher's hungry heart grow fat | G |
| Is it for nothing now and evermore | H |
| O you whose sin in life had death in ease | I |
| The murder of your victims beats the door | H |
| Wherein your careless carrion lies at peace | J |
