 2    I|     Me that night~Let no man bid fare forth upon the deep,~
 3   II|   pen,~And to the moist rind bid it cleave and grow.~Or,
 4   II| First choose thy ground, and bid a pit be sunk~Deep in the

 6  III|     Then at the well-springs bid them, or deep pools,~From
 7   IV|   bring~The savoury sweets I bid, and sprinkle them,~Bruised
 8   IV|     furnace-walls.~Then do I bid burn scented galbanum,~And,
 9   IV|    When first the west winds bid the waters flow,~Ere flush
10   IV|      O! wherefore didst thou bid me hope for heaven?~Lo!
