THE DESPATCH OF THE DOOM by Victor Hugo
     ("Pendant que dans l'auberge.")

     {Bk. IV. xiii., Jersey, November, 1852.}
     While in the jolly tavern, the bandits gayly drink,
     Upon the haunted highway, sharp hoof-beats loudly clink?
     Yea; past scant-buried victims, hard-spurring sturdy steed,
     A mute and grisly rider is trampling grass and weed,
     And by the black-sealed warrant which in his grasp shines clear,
     I known it is the Futureâ€"God's Justicer is here!
