Notes |
Text: The winds of march will be here soon / Then you who look like a Balloon, / Perchance may the Balloon fate, / And into
the air be carried straight. / Like Cesar -- all gentle fair / Should the Ides of March beware, / For were you carried into
the sky, / What THINGS ABOVE might meet each eye.
