What seest Thou in this meagre patch
Of all Infinity onto this Thou should latch!
Merit I have none, am exiled to every place
What despair could drive any to this space!
The hours oppress by their slow march
A lightless heat all sap does parch.
Only in shreds of a fickle memory
Is any trace of my little story.
Perhaps Thou mistook my humble shire
As a sigil of some hidden empire?
O Sire, Lord dost Thou not know
Am vacant now, nothing to show!
All have fled, am now but a propped up shell
Come conquer this too, to none I shall tell.
