That age, ache, penury, and imprisonment
Can lay on nature is a paradise
To what we fear of death.”

And had rooted the sun and moon and stars out of the sky
And lay in the darkness, grunting, and turning to his rest.”

In what the sages said;
But stretch that body for a while
And lay down that head
Till I have told the sages
Where man is comforted.”
