Do not blame me for banter and jest,
or for sometimes courting ribaldry in verse.
And for sometimes seeking ribaldry in verse.

Life is only your mention of life—let it be,
Life is but your mention of life; leave it be,
whether it was or was not, save as a phrase.
Whether it existed or existed only in words.
