Quantity surveying my hash

Keef as would fill up the stolen Mount Keefe Chalice

Whose unknown maker his useless initials inscribed

Elucidating nothing thereby, in 1590

It is like I am speaking of myself, whose writing trialful 

Turns many an eye away instantly, who could spite them

Such rinds I peel away, which fall in orange spirals

Are for all their prettiness little more than trifles

Chapel entrances adorned with enchanting sexfoil stars

Lawns gloried with sun-yolked marguerites sweeping

Weeping outside Eden, sky above me scarclad

Reds red as Mars, firmament barded appleflesh.
