active_apathy

Aſsuredly not to the well-knowne tune.

Verily we may, ſhould'ſt thou be of ſuch deſirous, partake in danſe
We are able alſo to perform ſuch acts as departing without thine friends
For it is aſserted that divers of thine friends partake not in danſes
And ſhould divers of thine friends partake not in danſes
I am compelled to inform thee that they are not counted amongſt ſuch friends as be mine
I declare we may undertake travels to ſuch places as we wiſh
A place that ſhould moſt certainlie render their ſearches fruitleſs
We can act in a manner fitting thoſe from beyond the firmament
And in ſo doing leave behind this world moſt real
And, alſo, we may partake in danſes

We are indeed able to depart this place at a time of our chooſing
The night is poſseſsed of youth, as I may ſimilarlie be held to be
And we may be garbed moſt finely in a manner encompaſsing our perſons in entirety
And, alſo, may ſtartle ſuch as may be preſent with the exultation of the victor
It is aſserted that we may, if deſirous, take upon ourſelves the player's arts
Should we not, it is deemed likely that others ſhall not fulfill ſuch roles
And you may preſent thyſelf in a manner at once booriſh and aloof
And I may play as one of tragically diminiſhed mental capaſitie

[Refrain]
It is ſaid we may partake in danſes, we may partake in danſes
All things devolving into ſtates moſt chaotic
We may partake in danſes, we may partake in danſes
It is known that we are undertaking ſuch in ſpace that ſpans 'twixt walls
We may partake in danſes, we may partake in danſes
Indulge, all, in viſual examination of thine hands
We may partake in danſes, we may partake in danſes
All in this affair petitioning the mercies of fortune

Danſe of peril's abjuration, danſe of peril's abjuration
Might we aſsert the danſe is ſafe
Might we aſsert the danſe is ſafe

S-ſ-ſ-s A-a-a-a F-f-f-f E-e-e-e T-t-t-t I-i-i-i E-e-e-e
Danſe warded againſt peril

We may, shouldſt we deſire, partake in danſe
Poſseſsed are we of lives, both thine and alſo mine
For ſuch time as we impoſe upon it maltreatment, we may be held to have not loſt it
All affairs ſhould moſt ſurely be reſolved in accordanſe with the natural order
It is ſo atteſted that we may partake in danſe
We are able indeed to take leave of thine friends
And ſhould divers of thine friends partake not in danſes
It is moſt apparent that they be not counted amongſt ſuch friends as be mine

[Here repeat the Refrain above]

Might we aſsert the danſe is ſafe, might we aſsert the danſe is ſafe [unto the ſixth repetition]
Might we aſsert the danſe is ſafe

Explanation, ſo far as ſuch is in ſupply. It is poſsible I may have ſome requirement for a "what am I on?" tag, for uſe on ſimilar entries.
