But now their naked bodies scorn the cold,

And from their eyes joy looks, and laughs at pain;

The infant wonders how he came so old,

And old man how he came so young again;

Still resting, though from sleep they still restrain;

Where all are rich, and yet no gold they owe;

And all are kings, and yet no subjects know;

All full, and yet no time on food they do bestow.
