O king! the King of kings deniesThat Cairo's towers shall be thy prize:
149
Unmoved thy tribulations;
This be thy victory,—to ensure
God's own blest crown of patience:
Unsway'd by proffered rope or sword,
Unless the Prophet be adored;
By threat of torture vainly tried
Except thou spurn the Crucified.
Think not the foe can e'er prevail,
Albeit as victor greeted;
Think not, although thy battles fail,
That thou canst be defeated!
