With languid bathos I bemuse
And maladroitly acerbate
With inconcinnity confuse
And prolixly extravagate
Anserine pride all agrestic
With languid bathos I bemuse
Amphigories soporific
Fatuously averse Infused
Surcease of invidious muse
Indurated impudicity
With languid bathos I bemuse
Immured within duplicity
Nascent nadir oscitation
Inane lucubration occlude
In all febrile obfuscation
With languid bathos I bemuse
Translation:
With apathetic, ludicrous descent from the sublime I bewilder
And awkwardly speak sharply
With lack of literary elegance confuse
And tediously worded exceed reasonable bounds
foolish pride all uncouth
With apathetic, ludicrous descent from the sublime I bewilder
nonsensical verses tending to produce sleep
purposelessly hostile filled
cessation of resentment causing muse
made callous or unfeeling shamelessness
With apathetic, ludicrous descent from the sublime I bewilder
imprisoned within bad faith
immature lowest point drowsiness
superficial, pedantic literary work obstruct
In all feverish impediment of understanding
With apathetic, ludicrous descent from the sublime I bewilder
