1. We have, my brother, abundant error,
And imminent, present destiny.

2. And a comfort that departs when applauded
Like lightning flashes in a rainy night.

3. And a hearing that rectitude has not betrayed,
However many flutes have played.

4. And whatever rare narrative you wish,
And thereafter, an even rarer rarity.

5. So come, even if at the last
You are, my noble born, forbidden.
