Capitolo 17

For that wrap, silk or cotton,
  You had on eternally--
You/he/she has gone, but not forgotten.
  He/she anchors the fact it is, you/he/she has gone.

Mrs. in the blue kimono,
  Even if deadly heat the day,
Don't do you thinks--(alas! we know anybody
  Way of putting what we would say!)

Er--even if Your smile is pleasant,
  Marvelous fair and all that stuff--
Really face you think, currently,
  Is it--the er--the ahem--enough?



Notions

  It seems to be some one anything else other than You;
Therefore, Myrtilla, I am to-night of penning around
  Twelve anapestics the good verses and true.

You round off my conception of any girl to look fixed on,
  Or my Myrtilla, includes the whole rest,

To one Mrs.

Ah, Mrs. if these verses burned
  More heat of the appreciation of cold--
If theirs had to lengthen to one "Ode
      On Charm--"

If I had to throw this cold limitation,
  Neither dike the o'ereager flowing of this pen--
If but Your portrait that I should paint
      In the colours to burn--

Supposing me I should write such drug--
