BRUTE beast, at last you have it! Now we know <br />Truth's not a phrase, justice an idle show. <br />Your life ran red with murder, green with lust. <br />Blood has washed blood clean, and in the final dust <br />Your carrion will be purified. Yet, see, <br />Though your body perish, for your soul shall be <br />An immortality of infamy!<br /><br />Francis William Lauderdale Adams<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/lord-leitrim/
