Such notes as, warbled to the string,
Drew iron tears down Pluto’s cheek,
And made Hell grant what love did seek;”

Up the brass barrel, velvet black inside,
At a star quaking in the other end.”

Go to the guards of the heavenly fold
And bid them wander obeying your will,
Flame under flame, till Time be no more....”
