Criterion

Rhyme and reason take,
Hurts and pains succinct;
Yeast yields puffy stake,
Mine hearty instinct,
Entice words that speak.
Choice savours fresh form,
Reach that distant peak,
Intent follows prompt;
Touch that unseen prime,
Exploit the sure wave;
Rise to brilliant times,
Instruct words that save;
Observe the clear strains,
Note what voices plain.
