Fair Susanna! as fair as lily,
In purity,beauty and chastity,
Daughter of Israel,a beauteous Hebrew,
Wife of Joachim the rich,we ever knew.
Behind her house,she owned an orchard,
Garden of manifold trees with no guard,
Even in the Eden there was a snake,
In this orchard only, she used to bathe.
Two elders the venomous judges hid there,
To observe on bath time Susanna fair,
That day she was all alone in the complex,
The wicked judges forced her for sex.
Consent to us, none here to discover,
Or false witness we would bear,
That she lied with her young lover,
Death sentence for promiscuity,be aware.
Innocent Susanna cried aloud,
To be blackmailed she never allowed,
Hand maids from the privy door entered,
The judges alleged their story forged.
The Holy Spirit descended on Daniel,
Cross-examined the judges one by one,
Asked "Where did this episode happen?"
Judges blinked with spirits dampen.
"Under small mastic tree" the one declared,
"Under tall oak tree " the other differed,
Falsehood established, people laughed,
Susanna An Angel Of God,triumphed.
