SUBMARINES

The submarine still sinks and slaughters,

of the laws of nations, and scorning rules

notion, an sinks all vessels that are sail

dippy man, the ruling German, whose brain
is full of bats and vermin, has run amuck,
no laws can cool him, the ethics of a scrap
can't rule him. Combatants, neutrals, are
knocked silly; all look alike to Nutty Willie.
