James Joyce...
O sweetheart, hear you
   Your lover's tale;
A man shall have sorrow
   When friend him fail.
For he shall know then
   Friends be untrue
And a little ashes
   Their words come to.
But one unto him
   Will softly move
And softly woo him
   In ways of love.
His hand is under
   Her smooth round breast;
So he who has sorrow
   Shall have some rest.
