Cicisbeo

Tis obsidian thou seek
Lavish tears befall cheek
Cold an abysmal grave
Balmy inferno enclave

Diablo offers willful sin
Lover awaits chagrin
Gently touch God’s face
Aspire to angelic embrace

T’was it only yesterday
Amidst warfare disarray
Once upon a callow death
Cicisbeo drew final breath

Etched on mossy stone
Sentiment blest unknown
“Posies fade too soon
Ascend to divinity woon”
