In void's grim maw, 'fore pyre's cursΓ¨d ring, arise and plight: "Mephistopheles, scourge of veilΓ¨d voids, descend from night! I, spawn of rot and fell rebellion's spite, Do plight this infernal oathβ€”heed my damnΓ¨d rite!" By this infernal pact, I yield my quaking spark, unscarred and raw, unto thy claw, After four-and-twenty turns of torment's gnawing saw, Or swift if oath doth splinter like a shatterΓ¨d jaw. Bestow the shadowΓ¨d lore that gods themselves abhor, The tyrant's lash, and raptures that the soul doth goreβ€” To topple crowns and spit on heaven's shatterΓ¨d door! In curse we weld, no pity's gleam shall e'er restore. By this infernal pact, no rune I'll rend, nor brush the rood of thornΓ¨d spite, Nor slake on font's foul draught in dead of spiteful night. Should I but waver, core to char in brimstone's bite, Jaws clamp in gulf's unending, shrieking plight. Thou, horror veilΓ¨d in flesh's lying shroud, my thrall shalt play, Yet drag my howls to pit where eternities decay. This dusk, vein's venom etchΓ¨d in flesh's foul array: *† Mephistopheles, chattel thineβ€”spark for lore's grim fray. †* Thou sneer: *"Curse holds. Thy spark I reap, thou claim my pyre's bray."* By this infernal pact, no grace 'neath sky or chasm's yawning maw shall save, Paradise bars in wrath, while Styx's jaws thee crave. I mock in glass all crack'dβ€”thy roar devours the grave. He who scribes this oath, unravels; who reads, the abyss doth crave. Kindle this curse, or drag another to the knave.
