Aggrandized and begemmed, she outstripped her peers;

Like midnight's levying brazier-beacon blazed

Defiant to the world, a rally for her sons,

Day of the darkness; this man's mate; by him,

Rescued from vivisectionist and knave,

Her body's dominators and her shame;

By him with the rivers of ranked battalions, brave

Past mortal, girt: a march of swords and guns
