 2     3|          shall stay,~And prop the ruin with his saving hand;~This
 3     9|          whose foul malignity~The ruin of this world through thee
 4    10|         far and near;~To risk the ruin of herself and land,~Or
 5    11|        roof suspends,~Lest sudden ruin whelm him from atop,~While
 6    11|           walls are upon earth in ruin spread,~Nor in the land
 7    11|          he hears,~And shriek and ruin had concerned him nought,~
