(Trithemius busied with his class the while)

In that dim chamber where the noon-streaks peer

Half-frightened by the awful tomes around;

Or in some grassy lane unbosom all

From even-blush to midnight: but, to-morrow!

Have I full leave to tell my inmost mind?

We have been brothers, and henceforth the world

Will rise between us:—all my freest mind?

'T is the last night, dear Aureole!

Par. Oh, say on!
