Three ancient crosses on a hill!
Their victims (dust now) challenge still.
Man's enemy, one hung and hurled
Invective, sneers, upon a world
He robbed. ... Crazed by injustice, one,
To right the wrong by tyrants done,
Struck blindly—won his cross ... A youth
Was gibbeted for speaking truth.
Three ancient crosses on a hill!
Their victims (dust now) challenge still.
