I varied the meter with this, following the Keatsian Ode model in anapestic tetrameter. The couplets are in iambic pentameter and trochaic tetrameter with masculine rhymes. I feel the turn at the end is sudden, but overall I'm happy with this one.","content":"Will the **trance** follow **up** with a **fitt** ing comm **and**?  \nYou are **truth** without **love** , without **hate** , just a **voice**  \nSwing the **chain** , pendant **glow** , I will **foll** ow the **grand**  \nMaster **Truth** , Master **Love** , Master **Hate** , I re **joice**\n\nAnd you **null** ify **thought** , breaking **will** , breaking **walls**  \nWhat was **in** that old **gem** you held **up** to my **eyes**?  \nWhy do **I** ask a **thought**?
