And many a tyrant since: their shores obey

Has dried up realms to deserts: not so thou,

Time writes no wrinkle on thine azure brow--

The grass at the foot of the rocks and the houses en masse
Far off the sea that your eye bathes

The vices the virtues so imperfect
The transparency of men passing among them by chance
And passing women breathed by your elegant obstinacies
Your obsessions in a heart of lead on virgin lips
The vices the virtues so imperfect
The likeness of looks of permission with eyes you conquer
The

of bodies wearinesses ardours
The imitation of words attitudes ideas
The vices the virtues so imperfect
Love is man incomplete
