Though I am half a slate half

Useless, that's still a slate half

Useful. Whose day purposed half

Wasted; th'other, perpetual --

Caused sitches are interim

Anal'gous cloud proposal

Based one room affinitive,

Fate undone were swamps yet drained

Received the curse for mutuals;

Most clever's chance repeated.

Dependent arms or knife fights,

The sacking of Troy or Rome

My brother's right was a bowl

Accepted, duly 'ccepted

Regress without a cloud-flight,

Our passage through tall grass combs

After the swamp resented,

Posthaste the crime affiliate

Of war, self guilt's perfidy;

Mine own self t' incriminate

As guilt's sole stealthful worthy.

But better either dest'ny

When I die, trades fair I lived.
