With an Apology to T.A.H.
If I must die because I'm man.
And all men mortal are,
I argue from a general law
To an individual case.
If Satan loves, since all souls love,
What case would this be called?
A common case, because all love
Is first found in the soul.
Ah, Satan loves me who must die
Because I mortal am:
Does this mean Satan's love must die
When I, the mortal, die
But after death they say that man
Wears immortality;
And does this mean that mortal man
Can be immortal when
He's had enough of mortal flesh
And seeks immortal spheres
This merely means that he who thinks
His reasoning is sound.
Is merely mortal man, and that
His mortal works must die.
