(he’s in with a shout)
sets him dancing (call it prancing)
 he’s what the dreamt world’s all about
and we’re just à la carte

and you) his raison d’etre
such a fool – we can’t be-

to live to the full fate’s strange decree

etcetera – wow – this idiot
poop the inkman bringeth
(proof he’s what he’s not)
is the sum already of our going steady

...Fine living . . . a la carte?
 Come to the Waldorf-Astoria!

 LISTEN HUNGRY ONES!
Look! See what Vanity Fair says about the
 new Waldorf-Astoria:

 "All the luxuries of private home. . . ."
Now, won't that be charming when the last flop-house
 has turned you down this winter?
 Furthermore:
"It is far beyond anything hitherto attempted in the hotel
 world. . . ." It cost twenty-eig...Read more of this...

...geranium glow
Over Anaheim's had the riot act read to it by the
Etna-size firecracker that exploded last minute into
A carte du Tendre in whose lower right-hand corner
(Hard by the jock-itch sand-trap that skirts
The asparagus patch of algolagnic nuits blanches) Amadis
Is cozening the Princesse de Cleves into a midnight 
micturition spree
On the Tamigi with the Wallets (Walt, Blossom, and little
Sleezix) on a lamé barge "borrowed" from Ollie
Of the Movies' dread mistress of ...Read more of this...

...o suo corso prende

 dal divino 'ntelletto e da sua arte;

e se tu ben la tua Fisica note,

tu troverai, non dopo molte carte,

 che l'arte vostra quella, quanto pote,

segue, come 'l maestro fa 'l discente;

s? che vostr'arte a Dio quasi ? nepote.

 Da queste due, se tu ti rechi a mente

lo Genes? dal principio, convene

prender sua vita e avanzar la gente;

 e perch? l'usuriere altra via tene,

per s? natura e per la sua seguace

dispregia, poi ch'in altro pon la spene.

...Tis wondrous what strange stuff
Your Whigs-heads are compounded of;
Which force of logic cannot pierce,
Nor syllogistic carte and tierce,
Nor weight of scripture or of reason
Suffice to make the least impression.
Not heeding what ye rais'd contest on,
Ye prate, and beg, or steal the question;
And when your boasted arguings fail,
Strait leave all reas'ning off, to rail.


"Have not our High-church Clergy made it
Appear from Scriptures, which ye credit,
That right divine from h...Read more of this...

...eria s? digiuno

lo grasso e 'l magro un corpo, cos? questo
nel suo volume cangerebbe carte.
 Se 'l primo fosse, fora manifesto
ne l'eclissi del sol per trasparere
lo lume come in altro raro ingesto.
 Questo non ?: per? ? da vedere

 S'elli ? che questo raro non trapassi,

...derisi,
l'onor d'Agobbio e l'onor di quell'arte
ch'alluminar chiamata è in Parisi?».
 «Frate», diss'elli, «più ridon le carte
che pennelleggia Franco Bolognese;
l'onore è tutto or suo, e mio in parte.
 Ben non sare' io stato sì cortese
mentre ch'io vissi, per lo gran disio
de l'eccellenza ove mio core intese.
 Di tal superbia qui si paga il fio;
e ancor non sarei qui, se non fosse
che, possendo peccar, mi volsi a Dio.
 Oh vana gloria de l'umane posse!

To which this Sompnour shope* him for to wend,** *shaped **go
They saw a cart, that charged was with hay,
Which that a carter drove forth on his way.
Deep was the way, for which the carte stood:
The carter smote, and cried as he were wood,* *mad
"Heit Scot! heit Brok! what, spare ye for the stones?
The fiend (quoth he) you fetch body and bones,

The cook scalded, for all his longe ladle.
Nor was forgot, *by th'infortune of Mart* *through the misfortune
The carter overridden with his cart; of war*
Under the wheel full low he lay adown.
There were also of Mars' division,
The armourer, the bowyer*, and the smith, *maker of bows
That forgeth sharp swordes on his stith*. *anvil

And whyten gan the orisonte shene
Al estward, as it woned is for to done.
And Phebus with his rosy carte sone
Gan after that to dresse him up to fare,
Whan Troilus hath sent after Pandare. 

This Pandare, that of al the day biforn

Al-though he on his heed it hadde y-sworn,
For with the king Pryam alday was he,
So that it lay not in his libertee
