10. I am a dance — Play up, there ! the fit is whirling me fast!
11. I am the ever-laiighing — it is new moon and twilight,
I see the hiding of douceurs — I see nimble ghosts whichever way I look,
Cache, and cache again, deep in the ground and sea, and where it is neither ground or sea.
12. Well do they do their jobs, those journeymen divine,
Only from me can they hide nothing, and would not if they could,
I reckon I am their boss, and they make me a pet besides,
And surround me and lead me, and run ahead when I walk,
To lift their cunning covers, to signify me with stretched arms, and resume the way ;
Onward we move ! a gay gang of blackguards ! with mirth-shouting music and wild-flapping pennants of joy !
13. I am the actor, the actress, the voter, the politician.
The emigrant and the exile, the criminal that stood in the box.
He who has been famous, and he who shall be famous after to-day.
The stammerer, the well-formed person, the wasted or feeble person.
14. I am she who adorned herself and folded her hair expectantly.
My truant lover has come, and it is dark.
