    INVECTIVE AGAINST SWANS

    The soul, O ganders, flies beyond the parks

    And far beyond the discords of the wind.

    A bronze rain from the sun descending marks

    The death of summer, which that time endures

    Like one who scrawls a listless testament

    Of golden quirks and Paphian caricatures,

    Bequeathing your white feathers to the moon

    And giving your bland motions to the air.

    Behold, already on the long parades

    The crows anoint the statues with their dirt.

    And the soul, O ganders, being lonely, flies

    Beyond your chilly chariots, to the skies.
