And take a part in this poor shifty world,
And help to pull the ropes behind the scenes
That aid the puppets to their forcéd parts.
Yea, sooth indeed that Vivien hath a devil,
But it is such a sweet and clever devil,
I cannot help but take it to mine arms.
She hath a counsel toward the stormier part.
She puts her little foot on fate’s grim head,
And harks it hiss. I am persuaded much
