There was no hyperbole
that excited gave,
when passions would not be ruled,
when caution up and went away,
and he, with liberated tongue,
unfettered by discretion
made pledges,
stoking aspirations
before by shadowed moments,
ruled the sombre hours,
and blood inflamed
now tempered,
found himself,
in sudden sobriety,
cast as Don Juan,
for tears now shed,
o'er past promises
presently reconsidered,
subsequently constituting,
a charlatan's abuse,
the reckless cuts,
from temporary truth.
