A BALLAD OF PASSIVE PAEDERASTY
A BALLAD OF PASSIVE PAEDERASTY
Of man’s delight and man’s desire
In one thing is no weariness—
To feel the fury of the fire,
And writhe within the close caress
Of fierce embrace, and wanton kiss,
And final nuptial done aright,
How sweet a passion, shame, is this,
A strong man’s love is my delight !
Free women cast a lustful eye
On my gigantic charms, and seek
By word and touch with me to lie,
And vainly proffer cunt and cheek ;
Then, angry, they miscall me weak,
Till one, divining me aright,
Points to her buttocks, whispers “ Greek ! ”—
A strong man’s love is my delight !
Boys tempt my lips to wanton use,
And show their tongues, and smile awry,
