The Epic of Bo Pi: Chapter IV
Drosophilus
1 Your beauty exceeds comprehension, Bo Pi! You are worthy of adoration! Your eyes are like gems; your hair adorns your face like vines around a pillar.
2 You are my beloved jewel, exceeded only by God Himself; your wonder is boundless.
3 Your lips are scarlet, sultry and flawless; adorable is your mouth, from which your voice emerges. Your profile alone inspires great poetry and song.
4 Like a gentle white pillar is your neck, elegant in its shape and tone; your beauty and fairness are worthy of accolades.
5 Your form is unparalleled, and your graceful movements are wonderous; you move like a beautiful bird on the wind.
6 Until the dawn, I will proclaim your greatness from the top of the highest mountain.
7 Adorable you are, my Bo Pi; your flaws are hidden, unseen and not apparent.
8 Come to me, beloved; approach, trust me, let me be your greatest champion.
9 You have intoxicated me, Bo Pi; your wonder is an inspiration, and you leave me spell-bound.
10 I delight in you, Bo Pi! Your presence is more pleasing than beer; your aroma is more intoxicating than strong drink.
11 You are like a siren, captivating me with the words of your mouth; your words are sweeter than milk and honey.
12 You guard yourself, Bo Pi; your caution is exceedingly great, and you guard yourself against the unwise.
13 How I long to touch the thin of your skin, and tempt laughter from the soles of your feet;
14 none can challenge your beauty and fairness; you are brilliant beyond measure, a reflection of the mighty sun.
15 How I long to walk with you in my garden, to proclaim your beauty to the roses.
