Chapter IX
It will subserve no use, More than the tints of flowers, Only the independent guest Frequents its bowers, Inherits its bequest. No speech though kind has it, But kinder silence doles Unto its mates, By night consoles, By day congratulates. What saith the tongue to tongue? What heareth ear of ear? By the decrees of fate From year to year, Does it communicate.
