[Sweetheart and sweetheart, husband and wife]
[The figures of Heroes by history outlined]
[He who worships Success]
[Honour and Fortune never sought thee out]
[Each thinks himself exceptional]
[The imperial essence, the transcendent dower]
[“How can it surely be known]
[The Age of Suicide draws near]
[Religion dead]
[The weak, all-powerful force, now in our hand]
[The Children of the Land]

[From the little that's shown]
From
the little that's shown
To complete the unknown,
Is a folly we hourly repeat;
And for once, I would say,
That men lead us astray,
Ourselves we a thousand times cheat.
