Si credere dignum est Virgil Georgics III	A
	-
	-
Oh worthy of belief I hold it was	B
Virgil your legend in those strange three lines	C
No question that adventure came to pass	D
One black night in Arcadia yes the pines	C
Mountains and valleys mingling made one mass	D
Of black with void black heaven the earth's confines	C
The sky's embrace below above around	E
All hardened into black without a bound	E
	-
Fill up a swart stone chalice to the brim	F
With fresh squeezed yet fast thickening poppy juice	G
See how the sluggish jelly late a swim	F
Turns marble to the touch of who would loose	G
The solid smooth grown jet from rim to rim	F
By turning round the bowl So night can fuse	H
Earth with her all comprising sky No less	I
Light the least spark shows air and emptiness	J
	-
And thus it proved when diving into space	K
Stript of all vapor from each web of mist	L
Utterly film free entered on her race	K
The naked Moon full orbed antagonist	M
Of night and dark night's dowry peak to base	K
Upstarted mountains and each valley kissed	L
To sudden life lay silver bright in air	N
Flew she revealed Maid Moon with limbs all bare	N
	-
Still as she fled each depth where refuge seemed	O
Opening a lone pale chamber left distinct	P
Those limbs mid still retreating blue she teemed	P
Herself with whiteness virginal uncinct	P
By any halo save what finely gleamed	P
To outline not disguise her heavenwas linked	P
In one accord with earth to quaff the joy	Q
Drain beauty to the dregs without alloy	Q
	-
Whereof she grew aware What help When lo	R
A succorable cloud with sleep lay dense	S
Some pinetree top had caught it sailing slow	R
And tethered for a prize in evidence	T
Captive lay fleece on fleece of piled up snow	R
Drowsily patient flake heaped how or whence	S
The structure of that succorable cloud	P
What matter Shamed she plunged into its shroud	P
	-
Orbed so the woman figure poets call	U
Because of rounds on rounds that apple shaped	P
Head which its hair binds close into a ball	U
Each side the curving ears that pure undraped	P
Pout of the sister paps that once for all	U
Say her consummate circle thus escaped	P
With its innumerous circlets sank absorbed	P
Safe in the cloud O naked Moon full orbed	P
	-
But what means this The downy swathes combine	V
Conglobe the smothery coy caressing stuff	W
Curdles about her Vain each twist and twine	V
Those lithe limbs try encroached on by a fluff	W
Fitting as close as fits the dented spine	V
Its flexible ivory outside flesh enough	W
The plumy drifts contract condense constringe	Q
Till she is swallowed by the feathery springe	Q
	-
As when a pearl slips lost in the thin foam	X
Churned on a sea shore and o'er frothed conceits	S
Herself safe housed in Amphitrite's dome	X
If through the bladdery wave worked yeast she meets	S
What most she loathes and leaps from elf from gnome	X
No gladlier finds that safest of retreats	S
Bubble about a treacherous hand wide ope	Y
To grasp her divers who pick pearls so grope	Y
	-
So lay this Maid Moon clasped around and caught	P
By rough red Pan the god of all that tract	P
He it was schemed the snare thus subtly wrought	P
With simulated earth breath wool tufts packed	P
Into a billowy wrappage Sheep far sought	P
For spotless shearings yield such take the fact	P
As learned Virgil gives it how the breed	P
Whitens itself forever yes indeed	P
	-
If one forefather ram though pure as chalk	Z
From tinge on fleece should still display a tongue	A2
Black 'neath the beast's moist palate prompt men balk	B2
The propagating plague he gets no young	A2
They rather slay him sell his hide to calk	B2
Ships with first steeped with pitch nor hands are wrung	A2
In sorrow for his fate protected thus	S
The purity we loved is gained for us So did girl Moon by just her attribute	P
Of unmatched modesty betrayed lie trapped	P
Bruised to the breast of Pan half god half brute	P
Raked by his bristly boar sward while he lapped	P
Never say kissed her that were to pollute	P
Love's language which moreover proves unapt	P
To tell how she recoiled as who finds thorns	S
Where she sought flowers when feeling she touched horns	S
	-
Then does the legend say first moon eclipse	S
Happened first swooning fit which puzzled sore	C2
The early sages Is that why she dips	S
Into the dark a minute and no more	C2
Only so long as serves her while she rips	S
The cloud's womb through and faultless as before	C2
Pursues her way No lesson for a maid	P
Left she a maid herself thus trapped betrayed	P
	-
Ha Virgil Tell the rest you To the deep	Y
Of his domain the wildwood Pan forthwith	D2
Called her and so she followed in her sleep	Y
Surely by no means spurning him The myth	D2
Explain who may Let all else go I keep	Y
As of a ruin just a monolith	D2
Thus much one verse of five words each a boon	E2
Arcadia night a cloud Pan and the moon	E2
