    Nothing Inside

    A hungry lean-faced villain,

    A threadbare juggler and a fortune-teller,
    A needy, hollow-eyed, sharp-looking wretch,
    A dead-looking man.

    Get Through

    Am I in earth, in heaven, or in hell?
    Sleeping or waking, mad or well-advised?
    Known unto these, and to myself disguised?
    I’ll say as they say, and persever so,
    And in this mist at all adventures go.
