A DIALOGUE-ANTHEM: CHRISTIAN, DEATH

Author: George Herber


Christian

ALAS, poor Death! Where is thy glory?
Where is thy famous force, thy ancient sting?

Death

Alas, poor mortal, void of story!
Go spell and read how I have killed thy King.

Christian

Poor Death! And who was hurt thereby?
Thy curse being laid on Him makes thee accurst.

Death

Let losers talk, yet thou shalt die;
These arms shall crush thee.

Christian

Spare not, do thy worst. I shall be one day better than before;
Thou so much worse, that thou shalt be no more.
