Clear cackle is easily uttered!

XXIX

Lo, I 've laughed out my laugh on this mirth-day!

Beside, at week's end, dawns my birthday,

That hebdome, hieron emar

(More things in a day than you deem are!)

Tei gar Apollona chrusaora

Egeinato Leto. So, gray or ray

Betide me, six days hence, I 'm vexed here

By no sweep, that 's certain, till next year!
