To S——d (You all your youth observed the Golden Rule)

by William Blake (1757–1827)


* * *

You all your Youth observed the Golden Rule
Till youre at last become the golden Fool
I sport with Fortune Merry Blithe & Gay
Like to the Lion Sporting with his Prey
5 Take you the hide & horns which you may wear
Mine is the flesh the bones may be your Share
