Here you will find the Poem Quis Pro Domino of poet Christopher John Brennan

Quis Pro Domino

Quis Pro Domino?


Vengeance is mine, saith the Lord, I will repay-- 
Ay' verily: and by ministry of such men 
As did His will upon the Saracen: 
And Christendom owns not that man today 
Who deems it not the holiest task to slay, 
So utterly, that they rise not again, 
Yon blatant heathenrie, past human ken 
Outlawed to death, its raving spawn and prey. 
And thou has lit one flame of love and wrath, 
Who, all unterrified, didst take thy stand, 
And tear the Beast, and baulk him of his spring. 
O noble Belgium, lion in the path; 
An inch of sword holding a foot of land; 
A folk of men, showing a man for King!
