But mark his Italian 
--The man is a stallion. 
How he works at this canto, 
Veramente un santo. 
He's submerged the pentameter, 
Dismembered pentameter, 
He's doubling now. 
No, he tripling here. 
Deformation telotic 
And optics sclerotic, 
The lever of ma, 
The soft glue of gia. 
And tale and quale, 
Suppression of stress. 
But you never reverse 
At fifth foot, you IDIOT!
