And I would I were certain which of the pair

Were the truer type of my soul!

To My Lady

Twine, lanken fingers, lily-lithe,

Gleam, slanted eyes, all beryl-green,

Pout, blood-red lips that burst a-writhe,

Then—kiss me, Lady Grisoline!

The Monster

Uprears the monster now his slobberous head,

Its filamentous chaps her ankles brushing;
