This is an effort of prophetic skill 
   Not passing range of human calculation. 
   A woman gets exactly what she will 
   If she keeps willing it sans divagation. 
To have me secretly and altogether 
   Yours is your will — unless your kisses lied. 
   Sooner or later we shall slip the tether
   And all the world before us deep and wide
Gape like the abyss, through which we fall to find
   Strange equilibrium without support,
   Strange rapture without sense, and void of mind
   Strange ecstasies that mock the name of thought. 
Sooner or later, Lola ! Circumstance
   Bows before those who never miss a chance.
