My first is poison, slow yet sure,That preys on many frames;Compounded oft of things impure,And called by many names.My first and second form my whole,That’s one of Satan’s dens;Many a man has lost his soul,Through meeting there with friends.

And called by many names.
My first and second form my whole,
That’s one of Satan’s dens;
Many a man has lost his soul,
Through meeting there with friends.

Like a friendly eye, looking out from the sky.
My whole to the wanderer gleams on high.

When winter months have passed away,And summer suns shine bright,You ope the coffer where I lay,And bring my first to light.My second is a valiant knight,Who wears his crest and spur,And when he’s challenged to a fight,He does not long demur.My whole, as ancient fables say,Was once a friend of Juno,In dress he makes a great display—His name by this time you know.
