Like liquid, Lust, in his arousal (cloth’d?),
\nAs Easter-Cyclops roll’d away the stone.
\nTo fly this time, or to out-cry, not loath’d
\nBy Amoret, when, cutting short her moan,
\nOf Ovid mindful (similes from Rome),
\nShe left Aemilia in that darkest cave,
\nAnd that old woman, for her fit captor grown.
\nAsymmetry: and Breaking of the Waves<\/em>,
\nAnd sacrifice of Christ, and women’s selves, to save.<\/p>\n

Of all these dastard deeds I have not read,
\nAnd all these graceless happenings are chance!
\n(Lest guilt, “complicity”, as Berger said
\nFor her <\/em>short shrifts and my Cupidious lance,
\nOr bro-ish Spenser I, at frat-boy’s dance,
\nTo laugh now, or to judge, might yet you test,
\nTo ascertain involvement, and your stance.
\nOr my narrator, say Histor-New-cists,
\nToo deep in culture’s crimes, of those times was impressed.)<\/p>\n

Since twins abound like Shakespeare’s comedy,
\nAnd “face”-“faith” questions (Marlowe’s popular)
\nThe love and strife and farce we might just see,
\nWere not the violence taken up so far,
\nAnd were we not so far from wedding bow’r.
\nJealous Belphoebe evermore now rushed,
\nSince Timias bent over Am’ret dear,
\nAs she herself had bent, but over Lust.
\nFor like my rhymes, all was too casual to be just.<\/p>\n
