Libertine's Riddle

. Purling As the lotus 'mongst the waft top wet Arciforming With the pretty colorful rainbow bent Infiltrating Deeply the sinews whence mine I found mirth Noticing Every breathe flaunting the passion of mine colleen Sweating Whilst in hern depth roaring *Libertine: 14th century < Latin libertinus< libertus "somebody freed from slavery" < liber "free" ;)

Yes, it is like a riddle for me, James. I liked verse four the best. Is it about a girl named Colleen?
