Of This Way, Said Man

From dust, 'tis as it be
The body ordained to me;

A way indistinct and shadowy,
An understanding...deep of antiquity

And so perplexed, so dim and dark...
From the present to look back,

In presence, one should bow, unto him conspicuous;
In benefit, bow! unto him illustrious

With thy hollow, full of substance...
And flavoured of genuine essence:

Someone who can tested-
Thy fore-fathers' respected...

That the way, the ancient...are from it,
From dust, 'tis as it be, our benefit ✍️
