Reading the Yu Fu



If, reading the Yu Fu, downy cheeks blush apples
Or, Sky catfished, Thy Me Too cloud dapples
Not Love fails save in such folk-song or story
As where Beauty prevails pro patria mori.

Envoi-
Prince! Wu Wei is but 36 scales of the dragon crowned
Whose boats must race to see Qu Yuan drowned.
