The poem is in five sections: 'The Exhortation' (beginning: 'In the crook of my arm | Rest again, nest again. | You are elbowed from harm, | [ ]'), 'The Twinge' ('Never again, never again | Shall I know release from pain; | Never more, never more | Enter the diamented door.'), 'The Bravado' ('To you I raise | Praise, | Indifferently worded, | Heart-sworded, | And, | Merely, today's,'), 'The Fear' ('This hour of affliction | My thought returns | To that affection | A fool spurns, | [.]'), 'The Revanche' ('Were I to hate you | I should overrate you | And should I curse you | Seem to reimburse you | For that debt | I "should never forget."'). Gawsworth has numbered the lines in type 1-260, and then deleted the numeration. Note on first page in Gawsworth's sprawling hand: 'All were accepted by Fanchette for Two Cities in Spring '61 but he only published No 2 & 4 in Two Cities Etc 1961. | John Gawsworth'.

The poem and its parts do not appear to have been published elsewhere.
