"What is this that twists me into awful
convolution?" and the answer was, 1T
Is the worm that never dies" Then the
man cried out to the bad angel, what
does all this mean? trusted what you
told me on earth that night, corner OF
Broadway and Houston street, and why
do you serve me thus?" Then the last
deception fell off the charmer, and II
said, 81 was sent forth from the first to
destroy your soul; watched my chance
for many year; that night YOU hesl-
tated / gained my triumph. You are
here. Aha! Aha! Let me fill high
these two chalices of fire, while we to.
gether drive to darkness and woe and
death. Hail. Hail! Young man, will
the good angel, in the name OF Christ,
or the good angel, in the name OF sin,
get victory over you! Their wings are
at this moment interlocked in combat
above your spirit, ~ above the Andes
the eagle and the condor fight mid-sky;
Your destiny is being decided! God
help YOU. To hesitate is to die.
