Thou art my Pride & Self-righteousness: I have found thee out:

Thou art reveald before me in all thy magnitude & power

Thy Uncircumcised pretences to Chastity must be cut in sunder!

Thy holy wrath & deep deceit cannot avail against me

Nor shalt thou ever assume the triple-form of Albions Spectre

For I am one of the living: dare not to mock my inspired fury

If thou wast cast forth from my life! if I was dead upon the mountains

Thou mightest be pitied & lovd: but now I am living; unless

Thou abstain ravening I will create an eternal Hell for thee.

Take thou these Tongs: strike thou alternate with me: labour obedient

In the Wars of Babel & Shinar, all their Emanations were

Condensd. Hand has absorbd all his Brethren in his might

All the infant Loves & Graces were lost, for the mighty Hand

Condens’d his Emanations into hard opake substances;

And his infant thoughts & desires, into cold, dark, cliffs of death.

His hammer of gold he siezd; and his anvil of adamant.

He siez’d the bars of condens’d thoughts, to forge them:

Into the sword of war: into the bow and arrow:

Into the thundering cannon and into the murdering gun

I saw the limbs form’d for exercise, contemn’d: & the beauty of

Eternity, look’d upon as deformity & loveliness as a dry tree:

I saw disease forming a Body of Death around the Lamb

Of God, to destroy Jerusalem, & to devour the body of Albion

By war and stratagem to win the labour of the husbandman:
