How long must her grand arch of brain, as now,

Bear up a universe "of what should not"?

There, lies she, crushed by troops in hot pursuit

Of mocking shadows; for be Gain complete,

What is it but twin brother to defeat?

Stand up the dead on any bloody route.

Stoop for no kiss from orphans, at thy feet,

O Triumph! for ash-cord is all thy fruit.

O THOU PALE MOON
