In the third stanza I cite here: In Christendom one cousin's child.....Becomes a " favorite negro" ennobled...... and then in another stanza: A great Hawk or Bird, with many followers Among them this great-grandchild of the Jewish......At present time such words would be regarded as being a racist.
