Ever anon the horsemen cry,

‘O lingering lover, fare thee well!’

Ever I hear the jingling bell

Of waiting steed & harnessry.

O seeker who wouldst surely bring

To happy end thy wandering,

O learner who wouldst truly know,

Let not earth’s loves arrest thee. Go!

Mad thee with heaven’s pure wine & fling

To those clear skies thy rapturing.
