The boasts of men reflect their might.
"Full speed ahead!" said one.
"I have not yet begun to fight!"
These boasts did frighten some.
How's this! These words so calmly said,
When looking in the eye,
An enemy that wants you dead,
His hatred satisfy.
"Destroy this temple!" (meaning Him),
"And I will raise it up."
Three days, two nights, and then begin
Impossible triumph.
