Evil intention, skilful deception,
devious plotting, bent on revenge;
heart fired by hatred, nothing now sacred,
John's words of judgment she would avenge.
Then came the moment, see her opponent,
vulnerable prisoner, she'd seal his fate.
Dancing for Herod opened the scabbard,
offered the victim cold on a plate.
verses 3-4 follow
