Folly and Wisdom, Heavenly twins,

Sons of the god Imagination,

Heirs of the Virtues–which were Sins

Till Transcendental Contemplation

Transmogrified their outer skins–

Friend, do you follow me? For I

Have lost myself, I don't know why.

Resuming, then, this erudite

And decorative Dedication,–

Accept it, John, with all your might

In Cinquecentic resignation.

You may not understand it, quite,

But if you've followed me all through,

You've done far more than I could do.
