Lilith Libifera

Exhumed from out the inner cirque of Hell
By kind permission of the Evil One,
Behold her devilish presentment, done
By Master Aubrey’s weird unearthly spell!
This is that Lady known as Jezebel,
Or Lilith, Eden’s woman-scorpion,
Libifera, that is, that takes the bun,
Borgia, Vivien, Cussed Damosel.

Hers are the bulging lips that fairly break
The pumpkin’s heart; and hers the eyes that shame
The wanton ape that culls the cocoa-nuts.
Even such the yellow-bellied toads that slake
Nocturnally their amorous-ardent flame
In the wan waste of weary water-butts.

1. To Belgium in Exile

4. Yet
5. To the Memory of Field-Marshall Earl Roberts
