It is the very tune of hearts, and rhythms br To all occasions truly musical. br He sticks as fast to her each whim as does br The scarabaeus to its curious ball, br As if life's very destiny were in it; br And as the thing would rather die than part br With what occasions her so much turmoil, br I swear by what I now of true love know, br He'd dare even death rather than banished be br From her who has become a part of him.
