With tantalizing Play
As Boy -- should deal with lesser Boy --
To prove ability.

How long at that celestial wick
The Angels -- labored diligent --
Extinguished -- now -- for you!

What Loss would value more
Had it the stricken privilege,
It cherishes before.

To sound or circumvent --
Hate cannot harm
A Foe so reticent --
Neither Decree prohibit him --
Lawful as Equilibrium.

For our mutual hone, Immortality!

They strive -- and yet delay --
They perish -- Do we die --
Or is this Death's Experiment --
Reversed -- in Victory?

Nods from the Gilded pointers --
Nods from the Seconds slim --
Decades of Arrogance between
The Dial life --
And Him --
