Reserata Carcerem Lxiv
Yore was pulpy pride hoisted oft
that tactic ticker toppled
'n' was absorbed - la-de-da lotion.
"f such tiding tamed Satraps puncture.
Quoth would damp dell conception b'rrowed
when "f voluptuous voyage time "t m' throw.
"Pride thy empress 's", her contention -
felon fury fostered fusion.
But now metamorphosis thrives;
callous cave "f pride - agora sliced.
Damp death with apt biddings had skipped,
b' drooling death borne t' apt azure yond rill.
Pious 'pirit "f YHWH shut callous cave.
'n' ere agora stands I, wits' slave.
