The last stanza of "Shakespeare:"


No! At the destined hour, when you felt banished

by God from your existence, you recalled

those secret manuscripts, fully aware

that your supremacy would rest unblemished

by public rumor’s unashamed brand

that ever, midst the shifting dust of ages,

faceless you’d stay, like immortality

itself – then, in the distance, smiling, vanished.
