Gli Affetti Di Pluton. Deep In Their Hearts They Hide The Lusts Of Hell: Christ'S Name Is Written On Their Brow, That Those Who Only View The Husk, May Not Suppose What Guile And Malice Harbour In The Shell. O God! O Wisdom! Holy Fervour! Well Of Strength Invincible To Strike Thy Foes! Give Me The Force--My Spirit Burns And Glows-- To Strip Those Idols And To Break Their Spell! The Zeal I Bear Unto Thy Name Benign, The Love I Feel For Truth Sincere And Pure, When Such Men Triumph, Make Me Rend My Hair. How Long Shall Folk This Infamy Endure-- That He Should Be Held Sacred, He Divine, Who Strips E'En Corpses In The Graveyard Bare?
