Drums and buffets suddenly at the heart

And seeks a vent with what lies first to hand.

But yet no earthbound evil spirit comes

Taking advantage of my unwrought mind,

Tempting me to a gay concubinage,

In likeness of some ancient queen of heaven

Ardent and ever young. The legends say

They come to hermits so, and holy saints,

Disguised in a most blinding loveliness;

Disrobe about the good man’s bed and twitch
