And death is the reward of whoso dares

To venture in his presence unawares.⁠ ⁠…

None is exempt; nor is there any whom

Or rank or sex can save from such a doom;

Even I myself⁠ ⁠…

Like all the rest, I by this law am bound;

And, to address him, I must first be found

By him, or he must call me to his side.
