Creep into your narrow bed, Creep, and let no more be said!
In vanity you be steadfast
Eventually you'll break at last.
Let your lengthy contentions cease!
Let bickering drift away in the breeze
Let them have it how they will!
You are weary, best be still.
You’ve been out-talked, teased and jeered.
At perfection greater than yours they sneered
People better than you have tried
In vain they all have died
Try and try again you may,
Your constant wisdom to give away
Then stop and in silence be dumb
Let the victors when they come
When the forts of foolishness fall
Find your body on the wall
