Lee’s tormentors
Lack none of the demonic
rage
Of past persecutors –
Dismembering him and his
steed
Piece by piece, as they
also
Cut Christ’s martyrs apart
One joint at a time;
Heating the furnace
To infernal degree
Like Nebuchadnezzar’s
Disgraceful men
For the Three Holy Youths.
Defying their hatred,
His face glowed in the
fire
With sad nobility –
Foolish souls! You have confounded yourselves,
Making manifest what had
been hidden:
The greater glory of Lee!
Remember ye the tale of
Moses,
How his face glowed with
Uncreated Light
After conversing
face-to-Face with God?
You have revealed the
state
Of Lee in Heaven,
Whose Christ-like
suffering
For the Southern people,
. . .

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