| 31 | THE HAND that signed the paper felled a city; | | |
|---|
| 32 | Five sovereign fingers taxed the breath, | | |
|---|
| 33 | Doubled the globe of dead and halved a country; | | |
|---|
| 34 | These five kings did a king to death. | | |
|---|
| 35 | | | |

| 36 | The mighty hand leads to a sloping shoulder, | | |
|---|
| 37 | The finger joints are cramped with chalk; | | |
|---|
| 38 | A goose's quill has put an end to murder | | |
|---|
| 39 | That put an end to talk. | | |

| 41 | The hand that signed the treaty bred a fever, | | |
|---|
| 42 | And famine grew, and locusts came; | | |
|---|
| 43 | Great is the hand that holds dominion over | | |
|---|
| 44 | Man by a scribbled name. | | |
|---|
| 45 | | | |

| 46 | The five kings count the dead but do not soften | | |
|---|
| 47 | The crusted wound nor stroke the brow; | | |
|---|
| 48 | A hand rules pity as a hand rules heaven; | | |
|---|
| 49 | Hands have no tears to flow. | | |
