| And lovely Peace smooth gowned in lightest grey | B |
| Cries 'War is Dead' and treads upon it's skull | A |
| While silken women walk their rosy way | B |
| Sneering at swords and tittering at deeds | C |
| And kicking relics with their pearl shod feet | D |
| Saying with mirth 'The body never bleeds | C |
| Old Mars is corpsed beneath great Bacchus' | C |

| Young Mothers tell their babies of rusted spears | C |
| Of timid wolves long fled to northern skies | C |
| Of priests that sang of March in olden years | C |
| And died in May with vain despairing eyes | C |
| The world is soothed with olive juice and wine | F |
| And spits upon the Quirinalian shrine | F |
