How often he sang when he saw—so woe to him!
How often did he sing when he saw
He swiftly cleaves what remains, splitting it apart.
The remaining cracks split hastening

Justice only increased my passion.
Justice increased my passion
It harmed me more than it helped.
It harmed me more than it benefited
