Many a keeper of a house of debauchery—though, before it,
And a builder of a house for lewdness—who, before it existed,
He built a house of evil and before that
beneath his two rags was an edifice roomier than the house—
Was architect of a roomier one beneath his two ragged garments—
Beneath his rubbish was a dwelling far more spacious.

has lived celibate in its chambers, among its studs.
Lived unmarried in its quarters, with its stallions.
His stalwart friends paraded through its tracts -
What a marvelous house, by God—what things that house conceals!
So God bless the house—what the house conceals!
Great God! The house conceals what it contains.
Sol 6.1
