And, far beneath, Banditti voices talk;
Behind her hill the Moon, all crimson, rides, 235
And his red eyes the slinking Water hides;

All of the spine he severs with that blow,

And who speaks truth deals with me most falsely:
He's my friend who can make me believe
A white swan is the
blackest
crow I've known:
Who thinks he's power to help me, does me harm:
Lies, truth, to me are all one under the sun:
