Had it been a hydrogen bomb, not

There remains the slower death

more of them explode?
Was it we'll that the people of So

Their doom hanging over them,
they went on about their wickedness.
To their death, had they seen it

One thing in calm knowledge, re-

Pompeii could not chain Vesuvius.
Men can yet chain the bomb. There is
