"Child of the later days! thy words have broken

A spell that long has bound these lungs of clay,

For since this smoke-dried tongue of mine hath spoken,

Three thousand tedious years have rolled away.

Unswathed at length, I 'stand at ease' before ye.

List, then. O list, while I unfold my story."
