Ere Armageddon came

His single hand portrayed it,

And Bunyan was his name!

He mapped, for those who follow,

The world in which we are—

'This famous town of Mansoul'

[39]

That takes the Holy War

Her true and traitor people,

The gates along her wall,

From Eye Gate unto Feel Gate,

John Bunyan showed them all.

All enemy divisions,

Recruits of every class,

And highly-screened positions

For flame or poison-gas,

The craft that we call modern,

The crimes that we call new,

John Bunyan had 'em typed and filed

In Sixteen Eighty-two
