\nInto the caverns of the Dark!<\/p>\n
\nWith light and musick in my hand!<\/p>\n
\nI utter the mysterious Name.<\/p>\n
\nHoly Thy name and undefiled!
\nThy reign is come; Thy will is done.
\nHere is the Bread; here is the Blood.
\nBring me through midnight to the Sun!
\nSave me from Evil and from Good!
\nThat Thy one crown of all the Ten
\nEven now and here be mine. AMEN.<\/p>\n
\nThese adorations of Thy name.<\/p>\n
\nGashed with the sacramental sign!<\/p>\n
\nIt up, and the high priest invokes!<\/p>\n
\nAs I enflame myself with prayer:
\n“There is no grace: there is no guilt:
\nThis is the Law: DO WHAT THOU WILT!”<\/p>\n
\nI now go forth, and with thanksgiving,
\nTo do my pleasure on the earth
\nAmong the legions of the living.<\/p>\n
