By silverfish imperetrix, whose incorrupted eye
|
Sees through the charms of doctors and their wives
|
By salamander, drake, and the power that was undine
|
Rise to claim Saturn, ring and sky
|
By those who see with their eyes close
|
They know me by my black telescope
|
|
Your green tree mantle from which these things derive
|
A lens of quartz and refract spoke that crystal lens
|
Whose crystal rope once bound me to those
|
Doctors and wives
|
|
When my vision was oh, so cloudy
|
And I saw things through two eyes
|
I am a sailor on the raging depths
|
And I know a thing or two
|
Back to the corner mates and over the side
|
Yes I know a thing or two
|
|
By silverfish imperetrix, whose incorrupted eye
|
Sees through the charms of doctors and their wives
|
By salamander, drake, and the power that was undine
|
Rise to claim Saturn, ring and sky
|
By those who see with their eyes closed
|
you'll know me by my black telescope
|
|
Before my great conversion when the ridge was closed
|
Before my visit to the workshop of telescopes
|
|
By silverfish imperetrix, whose incorrupted eye
|
sees through the charms of doctors and their wives
|
By salamander, drake, and the power that was undine
|
Rise to claim Saturn, ring and sky
|
By those who see with their eyes closed
|
you'll know me by my black telescope
