Sureties as the stars are sure:

Not the wanton beckoning flags

Which, of flattery and delight,

Wax to the grim Habit-Hags

Riding souls of men to night:

Pleasures that through blood run sane,

Quickening spirit from the brain.

Each of each in sequent birth,

Blood and brain and spirit, three

(Say the deepest gnomes of Earth),
