MALEDICTION, by                    
First Line: "may he that bade me trust him, but did not come"
Last Line: With the trembling of the doe!
Subject(s): Hate


May he that bade me trust him, but did not come,
Turn into a demon with three horns on his head,
That all men fly from him!
May he become a bird of the waterfields
Where frost, snow, and hail fall,
That his feet may be frozen to ice!
Oh, may he become a weed afloat on a pond!
May he tremble as he walks with the trembling of the hare, with the trembling of the doe!
