Beholds him as he goes, and throws

Banana peels beneath his toes.

Along the pave Adonis trips;

He steps upon the peel, and slips

Into the juicy gutter:

His eyes are filled with fire and ire,

But water, muck and mire conspire

To drown the words he'd utter.

L'ENVOI

Go where you will, the stars will shine,
