And when to sing or chirp a tune I fancy,For slumber such song-remedy infusing,I wail then, for this House’s fortune groaning,Not, as of old, after the best ways governed.Now, lucky be deliverance from these labours,At good news — the appearing dusky fire!O hail, thou lamp of night, a day-long lightnessRevealing, and of dances the ordainment!
