Distress
I don't come to conquer your flesh tonight, O beast
In whom are the sins of the race, nor to stir
In your foul tresses a mournful tempest
Beneath the fatal boredom my kisses pour:
A heavy sleep
without
those dreams that creep
Under curtains alien to remorse, I ask of your bed,
Sleep you can savour after your dark deceits,
You who know more of Nothingness than the dead.

gli alberi e rimesso,
da indi in qua che 'l rio signor vaneggia
in furor tanto: e non è chi 'l correggia;
41
che 'l populo ha di lui quella paura
che maggior aver può l'uom de la morte;
ch'aggiunto al mal voler gli ha la natura
una possanza fuor d'umana sorte.
