Lo! the God of purple pleasure

Heard and hearkened to his prayer,

Reft the swathed bands that bound him,

From his cloak of Self unwound him,

Filled him with supernal seizure

That his humor’s jewelled treasure

Leaped and sparkled in the air—

Till the night was bright around him.

Never such a jestful fit

Dreamt he in his wildest wishes!
