Your head,
Your body,
Pierced with wire,
Pierced with nails,
You became an immortal
Martyr for Christ,
Venerable
Quintin of Amiens,
And your body
And the tools
Of your torture
Holy founts of healing.
Our heads,
Our bodies,
Ensnared with wires without,
And soon within,
. . .
The rest is at https://www.newenglishreview.org/articles/prophets-of-antichrist/.

Holy Ælfred the Great, King of England, South Patron, pray for us sinners at the Souð, unworthy though we are!
Anathema to the Union!
