‘Tread through the mazes of Christopolis,
And thou shalt understand them, marvelling
What brought thee hither on so fond a quest;’
And rising, with his eyes in anger fix'd
On the great dazzle of the far-off domes,
Across the gentle fields he wander'd on.
But, following him, I whisper'd in his ear:
‘Much hast thou told me, but thou hast not told
That which I ask'd—thy name and history?’
And thou shalt understand them, marvelling
What brought thee hither on so fond a quest;’
And rising, with his eyes in anger fix'd
On the great dazzle of the far-off domes,

But, following him, I whisper'd in his ear:
‘Much hast thou told me, but thou hast not told
That which I ask'd—thy name and history?’
