The little Moon look’d in that all were seeking:
And then they jogg’d each other, “Brother! Brother!
“Now for the Porter’s shoulder-knot a-creaking!”

And wash the Body whence the Life has died,
And lay me, shrouded in the living Leaf,
By some not unfrequented Garden-side.

Of Vintage shall fling up into the Air
As not a True-believer passing by
But shall be overtaken unaware.
