These wretched folk wave overhead,

With such strange thoughts as none may say;

A moment still, then sudden sped,

They swing in a ring and waste away.

The morning smites them with her ray;

They toss with every breeze that blows,

They dance where fires of dawning play:

This is King Louis's orchard close!

All hanged and dead, they've summonèd

(With Hell to aid, that hears them pray)
