"Jester, spin your silver ball, Youth and joy are at your call!" "The great grow weary forgetting pain, Jester, spin your ball again!" "Jester, music!" "Against the wall How light the silver pieces fall!" "Jester, let the pieces fall— Mend not the sphere of your shivered ball, For another as fair the king shall call!" "Masters, masters, the shivered shell Was the joy of my life— How light it fell! "Masters, masters, I leave the hall— My heart was hid In the silver ball!" | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE SPANISH FRIAR: 1-3.
