Zulalie.

Zulalie.     I.                 I am the sprite                 That reigns at night,         My body is fair for man's delight.                 I leap and laugh                 As the wine I quaff,         And I am the queen of Astrofelle.     II.                 I curse and swear                 In my demon-lair;         I shake wild sunbeams out of my hair.                 I madden the old,                 I gladden the bold,         And I am the queen of Astrofelle.     III.                 Of churchyard stone                 I have made my throne;         My locks are looped with a dead man's bone.                 Mine eyes are red                 With the tears I shed,         And I am the queen of Astrofelle.     IV.                 In cities and camps                 I have lighted my lamps,         My kisses are caught by kings and tramps.                 With rant and revel                 My hair I dishevel,         And I am the queen of Astrofelle.     V.                 My kisses are stains,                 Mine arms are chains,         My forehead is fair and false like Cain's.                 My gain is loss,                 Mine honour is dross, -         And I am the queen of Astrofelle!
