| - | |
| UNDER the Great Comedian's tomb the crowd | B |
| A bundle of tempestuous cloud is blown | C |
| About the sky where that is clear of cloud | B |
| Brightness remains a brighter star shoots down | D |
| What shudders run through all that animal blood | E |
| What is this sacrifice Can someone there | F |
| Recall the Cretan barb that pierced a star | G |
| Rich foliage that the starlight glittered through | H |
| A frenzied crowd and where the branches sprang | I |
| A beautiful seated boy a sacred bow | J |
| A woman and an arrow on a string | K |
| A pierced boy image of a star laid low | L |
| That woman the Great Mother imaging | K |
| Cut out his heart Some master of design | M |
| Stamped boy and tree upon Sicilian coin | N |
| An age is the reversal of an age | O |
| When strangers murdered Emmet Fitzgerald Tone | C |
| We lived like men that watch a painted stage | O |
| What matter for the scene the scene once gone | P |
| It had not touched our lives But popular rage | O |
| i Hysterica passio dragged this quarry down | D |
| None shared our guilt nor did we play a part | Q |
| Upon a painted stage when we devoured his heart | Q |
| Come fix upon me that accusing eye | R |
| I thirst for accusation All that was sung | S |
| All that was said in Ireland is a lie | R |
| Bred out of the c ontagion of the throng | T |
| Saving the rhyme rats hear before they die | R |
| Leave nothing but the nothingS that belong | T |
| To this bare soul let all men judge that can | U |
| Whether it be an animal or a man | U |
| The rest I pass one sentence I unsay | V |
| Had de Valera eaten parnell's heart | Q |
| No loose lipped demagogue had won the day | W |
| No civil rancour torn the land apart | Q |
| Had Cosgrave eaten parnell's heart the land's | V |
| Imagination had been satisfied | X |
| Or lacking that government in such hands | V |
| O'Higgins its sole statesman had not died | X |
| Had even O'Duffy but I name no more | Y |
| Their school a crowd his master solitude | Z |
| Through Jonathan Swift's clark grove he passed and there | F |
| plucked bitter wisdom that enriched his blood | E |
