    There’s nothing but our own red blood
    Can make a right Rose Tree.’

    The sable presbyters approach
    The avenue of penitence;
    The young are red and pustular
    Clutching piaculative pence.

    Murder her brothers and then marry her—
    Uncertain way of gain, but I am in
    So far in blood that sin will pluck on sin.

    They are provident instead,
    Content in the tight hot cell of their hearts
    To eat dusty bread.
