& plows th'dry Nowhere

though Player felt
as if 'twas Death --right there--
where he was stayed

worn out. Yet, fully paid,

he calls upon his royal maid
with manhood unafraid, again
taking Th'Spade a-grave

(for he is slain) through Wild Cascade!
& bittersweet flavors & pain

he sinks sans breath with Spade
trying to cover though he hasn't quite yet
recovereth

(it's always such a good bet)
