And, as the Cock crew, those who stood before
The Tavern shouted--"Open then the Door!
  You know how little while we have to stay,
And, once departed, may return no more."

Now the New Year reviving old Desires,
The thoughtful Soul to Solitude retires,
  Where the <sc>White Hand of Moses</sc> on the Bough
Puts out, and Jesus from the Ground suspires.

Stanza headings

Format numbered stanza headings as sections, leaving them outside the no-wraps. Lines were rejoined where paper was not wide enough for them. Note the indentation on the third line of stanza IV, which is two spaces. All of the overflow lines were indented far beyond that, allowing us to easily tell them apart.
