or the righteous ban
Of all the Gods, whose dreadful images
Here represent their shadowy presences,
May pierce them on the sudden with the thorn
Of painful blindness; leaving thee forlorn,
In trembling dotage to the feeblest fright
Of conscience, for their long might,
For all thine impious proud-heart sophistries,
Unlawful magic, and enticing lies.
Of all the Gods, whose dreadful images
Here represent their shadowy presences,
May pierce them on the sudden with the thorn
Of painful blindness; leaving thee forlorn,
In trembling dotage to the feeblest fright
Of conscience, for their long might,
For all thine impious proud-heart sophistries,
Unlawful magic, and enticing lies.
Keats - Lamia
