A Splendor of Love
Once a billet-doux was taken by this beau,
An afflatus read by his beloved belle;
The affinity tied betwixt bows,
Their love beyond compare, no one could tell;
Before sunsets is the accresscing of uttered pledge,
A benevolence in heeded bings;
The cachinnation at lover's edge,
No cad or caitiff intrude or adhere;
Adieu to saddening lover's loss to a cantatrice,
A canzonet she wrote with her graceful voice;
Enticing music spoken in cliches,
Beauteous billows seemed restless noise;
A dance made with candor,
An addle life adust of the lover's light;
This bequest by long forgotten ancestry devours,
An advertent love gave opulence to one's night;
A beneficent gallant turns away from the tumult,
A love like this is no adversary but friend;
He remained acquiesced of this love's ruling,
An absinthe drank with love's abstinence.
