I will make you my boys and bone you, sexually submissive Aurelius and Furius the
sodomite, who think, because my verses are voluptuous, that I am not chaste
enough. For it is right that a poet be chaste himself; it is not at all
necessary for his verses to be. My verses, in a word, may have a spice and
charm, if they are voluptuous and not chaste enough, and because they are sexy
and can arouse—I do not say boys—but this hairy pair who
can't shake their stiffies. Because you have read of many thousand kisses, do
you think me less a man? I will make you my boys and bone you!
