The Book of Enoch read, the Monarch's soul
Was solaced. ‘Let us hence,’ he cried: ‘I will
Once more look on the City which I built;
Yet not to pamper pride, but smite it down,
Heart-wounded with remorse. Thou shalt behold—
Thou shalt support me. I have not the strength
To go alone; the abiding fortitude,
To contemplate how vain was all my toil,
The labour of my hands, and of my soul.
Prophet of God: O thou shalt hear my voice;
My spirit shall repose on thine. Report
My words unto the people; they may be
Rich by my loss, and in my folly wise.’
‘Amen;’ said Noah: and they went along.
