And who speaks truth deals with me most falsely:

A white swan is the blackest crow I've known:
Who thinks he's power to help me, does me harm:

Ensphering each other, as swallow does swallow,
With circles still widening and ever ascendant,
In

Curtain'd with cloudy red
Pillows his chin upon an orient wave,
The flocking shadows pale
Troop to the

Each fetter'd ghost slips to his several grave;
And the yellow-skirted fays
Fly after the night-steeds, leaving their moon-loved maze.
