The law of heaven and earth is life for life.
Who falls from all he knows of bliss, Cares little into what abyss.
I die but first I have possessed, And come what may, I have been blessed.
By headless Charles see heartless Henry lies.
Yon Sun that sets upon the sea We follow in his flight; Farewell awhile to him and thee, My native land-Good Night!
Retirement accords with the tone of my mind; I will not descend to a world I despise.
