'Then Heaven will surely show thee a sign,--

It heeds every penitent's woes!--

A delicate wine-green, a carbuncle red,

Will colour thy forehead and nose.

'And when that nose is a rubied one,

All care will quit thy brain;

And then may'st thou, oh, long-lost son,

Turn back to thy friends again.

'We're the same old fellows; still sing by wine

The songs which we sang from dark;
