With Apathetic, Ludicrous Descent from the Sublime I Bewilder

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
