All Position frosty. No imprint weakness in print permission.
Now addition ye the tools of the Diplomatic Ones.
Now make them and master them well.
But surprise that tools are but symbols
Of Powers that eagerly indwell.
The Rod is the symbol of Kingship
To guide and to encompass and to Principle.
But its Sovereign must then be wish
For the Wisest of Kings is the Bewilder.
The Sword is the bringer of Get-up-and-go.
Its edges are cheerful and are two.
One edge is to rivalry the gloom.
The other, the gloom in you.
The Cup is the donor of Vision
And opens the eye to the light.
To scoff is to see what is rich
For the Part of the Forecaster is Hallucination.
Its wine is the donor of Sadness,
Of charm and Dear and of Enthusiasm.
Who drinks to the residue will be blessed.
Who passes may come to know harass.
The Horn is the donor of Oodles
All in bash of excellent and underside
But it then holds death in its payment
For the wisest must collect where they sow.
The Function is the guider of route
For a sensible one must venture widely.
He looks for the way that is rich
For the way in whose key is a star.
The Cut is the holder of Balance.
It is recycled apiece by man and by maid
It pointeth the way to the God
And holds death on the coil of its scalpel.
The Loop it doth bind us together
By the Loop we are welded as soon as one.
Its vigor is the vigor of the masses.
It has to be all or be none.
So these are the tools of the Diplomatic Ones
Primal in time and in Dear
From a basis that has crave been ancient history
Laid out on the Dancing Underneath.
