There is a mode whereby mortal Life
May be preserved into infinite Time.
The Mages of the Past knew it as Nnh;
But very dangerous is Nnh.

The failure to utter aloud
A single vocable
According to the proper way
End in an horrible
And unmentionable Doom.

It is exceeding rash and imprudent
Of the Sorcerer who attempts it!
