With mail which once a Harry Fifth had on,

Triumphal cars with all the triumph gone;

Goblets of tin mixed up with Yorick’s bones,

Bags made of togas—barrows formed of thrones,

Whereon the majesty of Denmark sat;

Fie! Juliet’s petticoats in Wolsey’s hat!

Swords hacked at Bosworth, fasces, guns and spears

Rusted with blood before, and now with tears.

Enough of this: kind prompter, touch the bell!

Children of mirth and midnight, fare ye well!
