speaks.
Deceiving gold was once my only toy,
With it my soul within the coffer lay
,
It did the mastery of my life employ,
By night my mistress, and my jub by day.
Once, as I dozing in the witch-hour lay,
Thinking how best to filch the orphan's bread,
And from the helpless take their goods away,
I from the skyën heard a voice, which said:
""Thou sleepest; but lo! Satan is awake,
Some deed that's holy do, or he thy soul will take.""",2009-09-14 19:33:40 UTC,"""Deceiving gold was once my only toy, / With it my soul within the coffer lay""",2005-05-31 00:00:00 UTC,Stanza XXV,"",,Metal,"",Searching in HDIS (Poetry),8607,3336
