Septimus

"Evans! Evans!" Cried he.
Heavens eyed it idly.
"Evans!" Wailed the victim;
reached no one to rid him.

Birds- they sing in Greek, O!
Words that sting 'n' reek, O!
Listen! Listen, only-
hear the hyperbole.

'Fear no more', his dictum.
Cheer 'encore', or succumb.
Steer no more; don't speak, O!
Birds- they sing in Greek, O!

"Evans! Evans!" Cried he.
Veins or brains- thus, died he.
'Fear no more', his dictum.
And insane they called him.

Lend it not a shriek, O!
Mend it, make it weak, O!
Look not; feel it coldly,
kissing your minds boldly.

Sang he, "Evans, don't come!"
'Fear no more', his dictum.
Look not; Death is bleak, O!
Lend it not a shriek, O!
