“To fight without hope is to fight with grace,
The self reconstructed, the false heart repaired.”

Where holy Dionysus died,

And lay the heart upon her hand
And bear that beating heart away;”

I heard a wise man say,
Give crowns and pounds and guineas
But not your heart away;
Give pearls away and rubies,
But keep your fancy free.
But I was one-and-twenty,
No use to talk to me.”
