seemed an ass's crown of ears/Or a broken town---/'Young girl, your love 
begs 'Give to me/your body, for your soul/Is only an illusion! 
But,'/Said the winter air/(The aged King of Nowhere)/'You must lay your 
body by,/As other women may lay bare/Their bodies to the foolish 
air/That they call 'Love'; Nowhere, alone,/Shall then be Lovers' Town."
