That never words were music to thine ear,
That never object pleasing in thine eye,
That never touch well welcome to thy hand,
That never meat sweet-savored in thy taste,
Unless I spake, or looked, or touched, or carved to thee.”

It fluttered and failed for breath.
Tonight it doth inherit
The vasty hall of death.”

To be attained with ease,
Then would I come and rest me there,”
