FERISHTAH'S FANCIES.
This and this only—was thy wit of worth
To recognise the drop's use, love the same,
And loyally declare against mirage
Though all the world asseverated dust
Was good to drink? Say, 'what made moist my lip,
That I acknowledged moisture:' thou art saved!
To recognise the drop's use, love the same,
And loyally declare against mirage
Though all the world asseverated dust
Was good to drink? Say, 'what made moist my lip,
That I acknowledged moisture:' thou art saved!

Rightly related so. Consider well!

Must be ignored: love gains him by first leap.
Frankly accept the creatureship: ask good
To love for press bold to the tether's end
Allotted to this life's intelligence!
'So we offend?' Will it offend thyself
