Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEF GHHH IJBH KIIL| Chess pieces resting upon the jade mantle piece | A |

| where deck chairs extend | E |
| to the Persian Gulf | F |

| Leisured gentlemen | G |

| Skin in puffy whiteness bulges under | I |
| lamp's white glare becomes copra gathered | J |
| miles from Pondicherry sesame | B |
| oil in rotting casks | H |

| And the Indian heat closing with certitude | K |
| akin to the trance of the snake charmer | I |
| holds his flute poised with the Bengali lancer | I |
| riding a slow crop over the prostrate polo ball | L |
