| [00:00] | “Gaunt and gnarl’d |
| [00:01] | Reflecteth the silver shield this welkin aghast, |
| [00:58] | Crawl without this velvet-clad coffin blest. |
| [01:17] | The bottom sand of the hourglass is at tide, |
| [01:23] | ´Tis and hath e’er been merry blood to pest - |
| [01:29] | To be adust for time longer can I not bide, |
| [01:17] | “Sensing this pine is as deep as the deepest chasm, |
| [01:24] | Hither !-cede and fulfil my phantasm! |
| [01:29] | Cherish me and sonorously do me laud- |
| [01:53] | “This tender and loving pest I to thee bequeath,“ |
| [02:00] | Thence swiftly wilt thou errant to ‘Neath. ” |
| [02:18] | Lest leer I at thee and do bewitch, |
| [02:24] | And the tharms fluttering claw’d and eldritch.” |
| [03:17] | “To conquer thee and thy blood for glore |
| [03:35] | Bear this torture and maim with decorum.” |
| [03:55] | One candle left behind(?) now, |
| [04:03] | Before the darkness comes… |
| [04:06] | “If e’er always was I this blissful and blithe“ |
| [04:25] | Would I resign to but its wee tithe.” |
| [05:03] | And to thee will I sing the lull-dull dirge; |
| [05:58] | Elsewise will I coerce thine consonantry to turn whist |
| [06:16] | So that thou canst in darkness and inferno vester, |
| [06:24] | For do I solely what He to me lifely saith,” |
| [06:16] | “Death-oh! Fair and’ guiling copesmate Death,“ |
| [06:24] | Be not a malais’d beggar ; claim this bloody jester!” |
| [00:19.45] | And with haste translateth gild’d black post and fast.” |
| [00:38.60] | “Anon-anon, say I!- the lid aside,“ |
| [01:35.40] | Hence the heart hale out throˋthe chest! |
| [01:41.65] | Misery thee? Rather misery me!- |
| [01:47.65] | For in Time’s durance am I naught but wee.” |
| [01:35.35] | For Dread!- thine eyes will behold a guise faugh’d.” |
| [02:05.85] | “And to me should’st thou be the humblemost knave,“ |
| [02:11.90] | Lest fear!- spit I on thy cist and grave!- |
| [03:23.56] | Art thou my afeard and reluctant whore; |
| [03:29.86] | Irksomely coy, save wiliéd by alarum, |
| [04:44.56] | “Purvey my ache and quench my profoundest urge, |
| [05:23.65] | Deliver thy blood like the rill filleth the ghyll.” |
| [05:32.45] | “Burrow to the trothplight with the Night and Devil- |
| [05:41.78] | Bid Him to league with me – forsooth, merry to ‘come’ twill.” |
| [05:49.86] | “Whilom wast vestal, yet now flit to thy tryst,“ |
| [06:10.30] | Grasp I the snath and cut off thine breath, |
