Not Again
Not again shall I fall a victim of folly,
Or again allow my heart be melancholy.
I shall let loose my fancy roam unroped,
And my dreams wander unstopped.
Ideas shall rule my mind,
And all I have shall respite find
In the autonomous flow of ease,
Till I slumber in eternal bliss.
Never again shall I follow the dictum of demagogues,
Nor be counseled by empty anecdotes of conceited pedagogues;
I shall let all slither free,
And all ordained to be shall be.
