Ages passed I knew at last my life had never been.
In your pomp and all your glory, you're a poorer man than me.
The sand-castle virtues are all swept away in the tidal destruction, the moral melee.
I'm a tiger when I want love, but I'm a snake if we disagree.
Lend me your ear, while I call you a fool.
To tell the truth, I'd scare me too.
