AFTER A C S	A
	-
In the days of my season of salad	B
When the down was as dew on my cheek	C
And for French I was bred on the ballad	B
For Greek on the writers of Greek	C
Then I sang of the rose that is ruddy	D
Of 'pleasure that winces and stings '	-
Of white women and wine that is bloody	D
And similar things	E
	-
Of Delight that is dear as Desi er	F
And Desire that is dear as Delight	G
Of the fangs of the flame that is fi er	F
Of the bruises of kisses that bite	G
Of embraces that clasp and that sever	F
Of blushes that flutter and flee	D
Round the limbs of Dolores whoever	F
Dolores may be	D
	-
I sang of false faith that is fleeting	H
As froth of the swallowing seas	I
Time's curse that is fatal as Keating	H
Is fatal to amorous fleas	I
Of the wanness of woe that is whelp of	J
The lust that is blind as a bat	K
By the help of my Muse and the help of	J
The relative THAT	K
	-
Panatheist bruiser and breaker	F
Of kings and the creatures of kings	E
I shouted on Freedom to shake her	F
Feet loose of the fetter that clings	E
Far rolling my ravenous red eye	L
And lifting a mutinous lid	M
To all monarchs and matrons I said I	L
Would shock them and did	M
	-
Thee I sang and thy loves O Thalassian	N
O 'noble and nude and antique '	-
Unashamed in the 'fearless old fashion'	N
Ere washing was done by the week	C
When the 'roses and rapture' that girt you	O
Were visions of delicate vice	P
And the 'lilies and languors of virtue'	M
Not nearly so nice	P
	-
O delights of the time of my teething	H
Felise Fragoletta Yolande	M
Foam yeast of a youth in its seething	H
On blasted and blithering sand	M
Snake crowned on your tresses and belted	M
With blossoms that coil and decay	Q
Ye are gone ye are lost ye are melted	M
Like ices in May	Q
	-
Hushed now is the bibulous bubble	R
Of 'lithe and lascivious' throats	S
Long stript and extinct is the stubble	R
Of hoary and harvested oats	S
From the sweets that are sour as the sorrel's	S
The bees have abortively swarmed	M
And Algernon's earlier morals	S
Are fairly reformed	M
	-
I have written a loyal Armada	M
And posed in a Jubilee pose	S
I have babbled of babies and played a	M
New tune on the turn of their toes	S
Washed white from the stain of Astarte	M
My books any virgin may buy	L
And I hear I am praised by a party	M
Called Something Mackay	Q
	-
When erased are the records and rotten	N
The meshes of memory's net	M
When the grace that forgives has forgotten	N
The things that are good to forget	M
When the trill of my juvenile trumpet	M
Is dead and its echoes are dead	M
Then the laurel shall lie on the crumpet	M
And crown of my head	M
