What's new

5 More than I, if truth were told,
9 Agued once like me were they,
13 But from my grave across my brow
2 Have willed more mischief than they durst:
3 If in the breathless night I too
4 Shiver now, 'tis nothing new.
6 Have stood and sweated hot and cold,
7 And through their reins in ice and fire
8 Fear contended with desire.
10 But I like them shall win my way
11 Lastly to the bed of mould
12 Where there's neither heat nor cold.
14 Plays no wind of healing now,
15 And fire and ice within me fight
16 Beneath the suffocating night.
