I would have rather felt you round my throat
Crushing out life, than waving me farewell!

Less than the weed that grows beside thy door

Less than the dust beneath thy chariot wheel,
Less than the rust that never stained thy sword

Where are you now? Who lies beneath your spell?

Before you agonise them in farewell?
