Sonnet V
The gorgeous youth helps Hestia's heart unfreeze
he's cast out like a snobby Romeo
he wore his toga like an old chemise
you pluck narcissi or you're very slow
Those snaps of Pisa's tower are bound to please
where Galileo once took pots to throw
a Tuscan scribed the stone with his imprese
the Greeks and Romans read and thought 'what though?'
A witty wind stops Ities speaking rot
in Florence tourists see a deal of grot
you can't quote Virgil in a limousine
Those transalpine relations interlock?
the bankers in Provence exchange baiock?
both Beaune and Chianti flow from Hippocrene?
