VI。
Oh； those melons？ If he's able
We're to have a feast！ so nice！
One goes to the Abbot's table；
All of us get each a slice。
How go on your flowers？ None double
Not one fruit…sort can you spy？
Strange！…And I； too； at such trouble；
Keep them close…nipped on the sly！
VII。
There's a great text in Galatians；
Once you trip on it； entails
Twenty…nine distinct damnations；
One sure； if another fails：
If I trip him just a…dying；
Sure of heaven as sure can be；
Spin him round and send him flying
Off to hell； a Manichee？
VIII。
Or； my scrofulous French novel
On grey paper with blunt type！
Simply glance at it； you grovel
Hand and foot in Belial's gripe：
If I double down its pages
At the woeful sixteenth print；
When he gathers his greengages；
Ope a sieve and slip it in't？
IX。
Or； there's Satan！…one might venture
Pledge one's soul to him； yet leave
Such a flaw in the indenture
As he'd miss till； past retrieve；
Blasted lay that rose…acacia
We're so proud of！ _Hy； Zy； Hine 。。。_
'St； there's Vespers！ _Plena grati
Ave； Virgo！_ Gr…r…r…you swine！
