IN MEMORIAM
We shall once more (for your sake !)
Be the men that Shakespeare found us.
All our life and lust awake !
All your love and joy surround us
Smooth and deadly as a snake !
Thus I build your monument,
Happy martyrs, passion-crowned !
Death your holiest sacrament,
Life mere garlands that you wound
Laughing on your brows, and rent !
Fare ye well, O world-renowned !
Enter into great content !
