I was the harbinger of sudden departures, but there was nothing in the world sudden enough to take Dominic unawares.
I, as all others, to his baptism came,
Which I believed was from above; but he
Straight knew me, and with loudest voice proclaimed

Refused on me his baptism to confer,
As much his greater, and was hardly won. The grim and persistent harbinger of evil aroused the man to renewed determination. |
