                                           Chapter 5 – Belshazzar’s Feast
                                               the clash of steel,


                           The heavy ringing of the iron heel,


                    The curse in dying, and the cry for life, —


                         The bloody voices of the battle strife.


                                     That night they slew him


                                        on his father’s throne,



                 The deed unnoticed and the hand unknown:


                   Crownless and scepterless Belshazzar lay,


                        A robe of purple round a form of clay.
