“What's that?” asked Derwent.
“You should know,”
Said Rolfe: “your Scripture lore revive:
The four kings strove against the five
In Siddim here.”
“Ah,—Genesis.

See here another not remiss.”

“The chiffonier!” cried Rolfe; “e'en grin
Milcom and Chemosh scowl at him—

Here nosing underneath their lee
Of pagod hights.”
