There was once an old spinster named Ruth
Who was renowned for stretching the truth
"Tho' many young swains wooed me,
I could have married" said she,
"But found them lecherous and uncouth!"

Guess which star I am looking at and there let
your gaze and mind dwell,
So if our bodies cannot lie together at least our
minds will!
For sweetly as the flesh of swains and maids
repose in a common embrace,
Just so do our minds repose in common thoughts;
And as brim with gaiety two weary heads on a
shared pillow,
Just so do our eyes delight in common celestial
sights.

Tired going here and there,
Tired of being aware!
Sick of building useless hopes,
Sick of being on unstable slopes!
Vexed facing disappointment,
Vexed keeping perseverant!
Done carrying on,
Done being cheated on!
Special thanks to all my swains;
Those who cured, or racked my strain,
A new stage has just broke ground,
A Point of view is switching around
Only success is what I'll brace,
From today, till blue in the face!

Who is Tokollo ?
what is he ?
That all our swains commend him ?
holy,smart and ravishing is he;
the heaven such grace did lend him,
that he might be admired be.
Is he fair as he is holy ?
for beauty lives with holiness;
love doth to his eyes repair,
to help him with his poems
and,being help'd,inhabits there.
Then to Tokollo let us sing,
that Tokollo is excelling;
he excels each mortal thing,
upon the dull earth dwelling:
to him let us garlands bring.
