Those fine thieves of ours,

And flutter round our rifled tops, like tickled flowers with flowers.

See those tops, how beauteous!

What fair service duteous

Round some idol waits, as on their lord the Nine

Elfin court ’twould seem;

And taught, perchance, that dream

Which the old Greek mountain dreamt, upon nights divine.

To expound such wonder

Human speech avails not;
