Ay! rub yourself, you big lascivious cat,
On the electric soft, the wanton fur!
Call upon Hera! You've a furious gnat
Worth any gadfly ever sent from her!
Call upon Aphrodite! she will send
No sparrows from her prudish Paphian home!
Call upon Artemis! She will not bend
To lift you from your seas of bitter foam!
Nay! wrap yourself and rub yourself in silk!
Drink of my blood, engorge my fruitless sperm!
For you were suckled on the poisonous milk
That betrays virgins to the deathless worm.
Are we not glad thereof? Kiss, Lola, kiss,
Comrade of mine in the uttermost abyss!
