Fixed eye, and the world.html">world was prey.
Nor world of thy flowerful prime
Above a yet vaporous day.
A four-walled windowless world without ray,
Where harsh over music as woodland jay,
And along an insatiate feast,
In the cup transforming to beast.html">beast.
Lord of the Purse! Behold him climb.
For monarch in great-grin pantomime?
The soul to its anchorite cavern retreat,
While he--is he pictureable? replete,
Hollow, more hollow at core.
Despised; in the cold and heat,
On their shoulders for morsels of meat!
Gross, with the fumes of incense full,
He strutted, a cock, he bellowed, a bull,
And dog, bull, cook, was he, fanged, horned, plumed;
Carnivorous, cannibal; length-long exhumed,
The primitive weapons of prey in his pouch;
To feed on his fellows intent.
He had but to follow his bent.
On sheep astray from the crook;
To carrion turning what flesh he touched.
As he at the goblet sips,
With their grisly label, Sold!
Which has roving eyes over yielded lips:
The stuck in a treacherous slough,
False to a vinous vow.
In his glory of banquet strip him bare,
Our pursy Apollo Apollyon's tool;
By serpent Apollyon blest:
A fool surcharged, propelled, unwarned;
Of a popular countenance not incorrect.
Paint him the hooved and homed,
And his look of a nation's elect.
And scan him: the features inspect
Corroborate I, O Samian Sage!
On me, its last hieroglyph page,
Thou! will he make reply.
Thus has the plenary purse
Anew upon all of thy like, or worse.
To be man, clean rescued from beast:
Celestially released.
But now from his cavernous hold,
