Last Line: More amorous than solomon
Subject(s): British Empire; World War I; Prophecy & Prophets; Helen Of Troy
A worm fed on the heart of Corinth,
Babylon and Rome.
Not Paris raped tall Helen,
But this incestuous worm
Who lured her vivid beauty
To his amorphous sleep.
England! famous as Helen
Is thy betrothal sung.
To him the shadowless,
More amorous than Solomon
