OSSERVATORE ROMANO
Oblivious of infinity,—interred,
As in a chrysalis of scanty scope,
In this small world, where he must grovel and grope,—
Is Man more tragical or more absurd?
Consider that abominable word
Just uttered by the Journal of the Pope:
“A Jew accused of treason must not hope
“For sympathy from us.” Have they not heard
As in a chrysalis of scanty scope,
In this small world, where he must grovel and grope,—
Is Man more tragical or more absurd?
Consider that abominable word
Just uttered by the Journal of the Pope:
“A Jew accused of treason must not hope
“For sympathy from us.” Have they not heard
That story of the Jew of Galilee,
Who suffered crucifixion for the blame
Of treason and the sin of heresy?
And lit they not the faggot's frequent flame,
To prove their perfect Catholicity
By burning those outside it, in his name?
Who suffered crucifixion for the blame
41
And lit they not the faggot's frequent flame,
To prove their perfect Catholicity
By burning those outside it, in his name?
