“his head
May not lie on the breast nor his lips on the hair
Of the woman that he loves, until he dies.

Must I endure your amorous cries?”

Down limb and breast or down that glimmering belly move his mouth and sinewy tongue.
What from the forest came? What beast has licked its young?”

cold and caressable;
his eyes were red glass,
much to be desired.”
