OMNES EODEM COGIMUR by AMMIANUS

First Line: DAWN UPON DAWN GOES BY - ONE DAY THERE'LL COME
Last Line: HE'LL SWELL; BUT ALL HE'LL LEAD INTO THE PIT.

DAWN upon dawn goes by, -- one day there'll come
The Black One on us, while we heed no whit:
And some he'll rot, and some he'll roast, and some
He'll swell; but all he'll lead into the pit.
