THE BLACK RIDERS: 19, by                 Poet Analysis    
First Line: A god in wrath / was beating a man
Last Line: "ah, what a redoubtable god!"


A god in wrath
Was beating a man;
He cuffed him loudly
With thunderous blows
That rang and rolled over the earth.
All people came running.
The man screamed and struggled,
And bit madly at the feet of the god.
The people cried,
"Ah, what a wicked man!"
And --
"Ah, what a redoubtable god!"
