& as mexile’s wander wearies him / not wound gold

maybe his halted heart / but nay not earth’s honors--

remembers retainers & receiving treasures /

how when younger w/ his will

he followed & feasted . . . but all favors die

& he who must long leave his beloved will’s

wisdom discerns that sadness & sleep

simultaneously strains that secluded wretch--

in his mind he looks upon a likeness: as if he his will

again he clasps & kisses / as if on his knee he lays

hand & head—as when he beforehand

on thrones benefited / those Mexi-days bygone
