CONSCIENCE, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: I am that tamerlane
Last Line: His sole vicegerent crowned.
Alternate Author Name(s): Father Tabb
Subject(s): Religion; Theology


I am that Tamerlane,
The Scourge of God;
With me alone remain
The sword and rod
Wherewith in wrath throughout His world-domain,
Doth Love, avenging, reign.

I am that Joseph bound
And sold in vain;
From dungeon darkness found
To rise again;
At God's right hand, whate'er of good redound,
His sole vicegerent crowned.
