That over her breasts wander there, and stray,
And across her neck float playfully:

With many a ruby, many a rounded pearl,
Ties the stream of her

My heart delights itself, contentedly.

If that blind fury that engenders wars,
Fails to rouse the creatures of a kind,
Whether swift bird aloft or fleeting hind,
Whether

with scales or sharpened claws,
What ardent Fury in her pincers' jaws
Gripped your hearts, so poisoned the mind,
That intent on mutual cruelty, we find,
Into your own entrails your own blade bores?

No, never say nothin' without you're
compelled

An' then don't say nothin' thet you can be held tu,
Nor don't leave no friction-idees layin' loose
For the ign'ant to put to incend'ary use.

He oft upon his lips would curb,
Thinking: 'tis foolish to disturb
This
evanescent
boyish bliss.
