To this have they brought thee, at last!

Exposed thee, for all men to see!
Ah, surely, their pandering
shall quickly be past:
'How wretched their portion
shall be!

Derision shall strike them
forlorn,

'A mockery that never shall die:

'The curses of hate and the hisses
of scorn,

'Shall follow wherever they fly;
'And proud o'er their ruin
for ever be hurl'd,

'The laughter of triumph,
the jeers of the world!'
