The Spirit

---

‘T is whiter than an Indian pipe,

   ‘T is dimmer than a lace;

No stature has it, like a fog,

   When you approach the place.

---

Not any voice denotes it here,

   Or intimates it there;

A spirit, how doth it accost?

   What customs hath the air?

---

This limitless hyperbole

   Each one of us shall be;

‘T is drama, if (hypothesis)

   It be not tragedy!
