    He decried that any would
    add another hue
    unto the rainbow
    yet we would ope to
    saffron and jade
    and pink and rose
    and olive and tan
    scarlet and indigos
    **
    *the quote is from Shakespeare's King John.

From whence still fresh-revolving pleasures flow,

In books and love the mind one end pursues,
And only change the expiring flames renews.
