All while her patience, morselled into pangs,
Mounts; then to alight disarming, no one dreams,

Forgetting that I was an alien guest,
She bent to me, my hostile heart to win,
Caught me in passion to her pillowy breast;
The great, proud city, seized with a strange love,
Bowed down for one flame hour my pride to prove....Read more of this...
