THE PHASES OF THE MOON
91
Aherne
Sing me the changes of the moon once more;
True song, though speech: 'mine author sung it me.'
Robartes
Twenty-and-eight the phases of the moon,
The full and the moon's dark and all the crescents,
Twenty-and-eight, and yet but six-and-twenty
The cradles that a man must needs be rocked in:
For there's no human life at the full or the dark.
From the first crescent to the half, the dream
But summons to adventure and the man
