Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJ KLM LNOOFOOOLOPQ| The woman with jewels sits in the cafe | A |
| Spraying light like a fountain | B |
| Diamonds glitter on her bulbous fingers | C |
| And on her arms great as thighs | D |
| Diamonds gush from her ear lobes over the goitrous throat | E |
| She is obesely beautiful | F |
| Her eyes are full of bleared lights | G |
| Like little pools of tar spilled by a sailor in mad haste for shore | H |
| And her mouth is scarlet and full only a little crumpled | I |
| like a flower that has been pressed apart | J |
| - | |
| Why does she come alone to this obscure basement | K |
| She who should have a litter and hand maidens to support her | L |
| on either side | M |
| - | |
| She ascends the stairway and the waiters turn to look at her | L |
| spilling the soup | N |
| The black satin dress is a little lifted showing the dropsical legs | O |
| in their silken fleshings | O |
| The mountainous breasts tremble | F |
| There is an agitation in her gems | O |
| That quiver incessantly emitting trillions of fiery rays | O |
| She erupts explosive breaths | O |
| Every step is an adventure | L |
| From this | O |
| The serpent's tooth | P |
| Saved Cleopatra | Q |
