AD ASTRA: 110, by                    
First Line: The devil's weapon, evil, we may find
Last Line: The harvest of man's conquests had been stay'd!
Alternate Author Name(s): Cayzer, Charles
Subject(s): Evil


The Devil's weapon, Evil, we may find
Turn'd 'gainst himself to advance the sum of Good;
For trials and vexations in their kind
Oft serve as strong incentives in the blood
To battle bravely with Life's swelling flood!—
Had ancient Nilus his full tribute paid,
The harvest of Man's conquests had been stay'd!
