The Lord God monologue — Satan Absolved: A Victorian Mystery

It was the Jews that slew In huge ingratitude Him who Himself was Jew. O perfidi Judæi! Yet His creed prevailed. Thou hast thyself borne witness. If Shem's virtue failed, Japhet hath found us sons who swear all by His name. Nay, thou hast testified the Christian faith finds fame In every western land. It hath inherited All that was once called Rome. The Orient bows its head Perturbed by the white vision of a purer day. Ham's heritage accepts new salves for its decay, And there are worlds reborn beyond the ocean's verge Where men are not as men, mad foam on the salt surge, But live even as He taught them in love's noblest mood, Under the law of Jesus.
