Lorelei,A poet of tragedies, scribe I lauds to Death,Yet who the hell was I to dare? Lorelei,Canst thou not see thou to me needful art? Canst thou not see the loss of loe painful is? Dædally didst thou perform the tragic pasquinade, For all years a damndest and driegh'd accolade - Caus'd for all eyes mazéd to behold a melée; In the midst did I swainly cast thee my bouquet: Bellow'd bidingly by my heart's quailing quire.
