From: Humane Measures

        of morning's clear arrayment touches: scarce ought
        nothing refine, is your take of will. You are gone
        down in wanting to, the calculate brink. I counted
        this for you. The weight diminishes: collect is by;
                        leaving its frame
                        screened citizens
                        cushion there, in
                sentenced shores enclitic rip. Underhanded,
                and well insured: going out whistling, gain's
                pavilion shipped, the keeping throat sings
                a vein of want stops a coal of wanting, copes
