By a weary flickering light
A venerable man writes

His pen guided by a mortal
But opened here there is a portal

By which the gods have sent their blessing
On this paper brilliance is impressing

Mighty pen to marvelous page
The product, the wisdom of a sage

Wisdom unceremoniously passed
Forthcoming generations shall at last

Have this wisdom to behold
Knowledge is power, as it is foretold
