| Such plum d prodigies might read | B |
| The eagles that were double faced | C |

| And when the battle birds went down | E |
| And in their track the vultures come | F |
| We know what pardon and what peace | G |
| Will keep our little masters dumb | F |

| The men that sell what others make | H |
| As vultures eat what others slay | I |
| Will prove in matching plume with plume | J |
| That naught is black and all is grey | I |
| Grey as those dingy doves that once | K |
| By money changers palmed and priced | L |
| Amid the crash of tables flapped | M |
| And huddled from the wrath of Christ | L |

| But raised for ever for a sign | N |
| Since God made anger glorious | O |
| Where eagles black and vultures grey | I |
| Flocked back about the heroic house | P |
| Where war is holier than peace | G |
| Where hate is holier than love | Q |
| Shone terrible as the Holy Ghost | R |
| An eagle whiter than a dove | Q |
