Great Saint George

George faced the two ships of splendorous light Entreated, and vowed to shatter the false gods Openly soldiering on, through Christ’s name Rome, heard this bright name and brought their wheel of swords George even climbed up their ladder of knives Enduring this, his crimson cross now shines high Partly inspired by the "Incantation of St. George" from the medieval Chinese text "On the Xiapu Ritual Manual Mani the Buddha of Light"
