Request to Leda

Not your winged lust but his must now change suit.
The harp-waked Casanova rakes no range.
The worm is (pin-point) rational in the fruit.

Not girl for bird (gourd being man) breaks root.
Taking no plume for index in love's change
Not your winged lust but his must now change suit.

Desire is phosphorus : the chemical bruit
Lust bears like volts, who'll amplify, and strange
The worm is (pin-point) rational in the fruit.

William Dudley
