THE FIVE NATIONS
"So I make a jest of Wonder, and a mock of Time and Space,
"The roofless Seas an hostel, and the Earth a market-place,
"Where the anxious traders know
"Each is surety for his foe,
"And none may thrive without his fellows' grace.
"Now this is all my subtlety and this is all my wit,
"God give thee good enlightenment, My Master in the Pit.
"But behold all Earth is laid
"In the peace which I have made,
"And behold I wait on thee to trouble it!"
