“Your father bears an iron reed
Filled with a flame that makes us bleed;
Your kindly mother loves to tear
Feathers and skin to deck her hair.”

As this will weary overmuch.
Sit we down, and hear rehearse
The marvels of the sweet-souled verse”

Place hands full of the purple bloom
Of loosestrife, glad of such soft doom,
And tender-toned narcissus there”
