Went the feast ever cheerfuller? She keeps
The topic over intellectual deeps
In buoyancy afloat. They see no ghost.
With sparkling surface-eyes we ply the ball:
It is in truth a most contagious game;
Hiding the Skeleton shall be its name.
Such play as this the devils might appal!
But here’s the greater wonder, in that we,
Enamour’d of our acting and our wits,
Admire each other like true hypocrites.
