Page:Queen Moo's talisman; the fall of the Maya empire (IA queenmoostalisma00leplrich).djvu/40

 When grief shall rend thy heart, seek thine own soul;

Shut out life's din, and find that sacred goal.

A talisman I give thee—jadeite green,

'Twill ever lend thee intuition keen.

Its wearer may with love herself surround,

For with attractive force it doth abound.

Would one deceive, and traitor prove to thee,

His mind with this thou wilt quite plainly see.

Thro' centuries this talisman can bind

Two souls—desiring this, the way thou 'lt find.

But keep it sacredly for thee alone;

If thou lose this a foe will seize thy throne."
