By the triple Hecate’s team
From the presence of the sun,
Following darkness like a dream,
Now are frolic. Not a mouse
Shall disturb this hallowed house.”

Your base has spread too wide,
For you to roll one stone
Down if you tried.”

Through worlds, and races, and terms, and times,
Saw musical order, and pairing rhymes.”
