" "
Have you found your life distasteful?
My life did and does smack sweet.
Was your youth of pleasure wasteful?

When mine fail me, I'll complain.
Must in death your daylight finish?
My sun sets to rise again.

And let us pent-up creatures through
Into eternity, our due?

Some stealthy tricks to better beasts unknown
That quick with prey enough her hunger blunts
And feeds her fat while gaunt the lion hunts.
