Nicolas Poussin, RENAUD ET ARMIDE 1625
MS Night’s Dream, a Lullaby?
Mocking and to tender, Mozart special moments,
melodious meddling, come softer to bedlings:
singing low sing so high—melding sirens to changelings
in the dark, don’t you know how to list to the light?
Let no bite nor no nightmares hexametrically
vex with me—let the night be so good as to pass!
Alexandrin the great in a lantern of shines
neither bedbugs nor nightlights to ruffle your soul
[or entice it with feverish hope] in the cycle
thru nocturnal sobriety dine on a breath
may you sleep healingly, drinking thoughts of a line...
