1At five precisely out went La Marquise
2since Elgin left his nostrils in the stone
3replies like this the dumbstruck brain may tease
4normal one aims to be and share the throne
5Old Galileo’s Pisan offerings
6that metred rhyme alone can souls enslave
7an icicle of frozen marrow pings
8for burning bushes never fish forgave

11while homeward thirsts to each quenched glass say yes

14and lessors’ dates have all too short a sum
