How should I pretend to be what I am not?
   Do whales walk?  Do horses sleep in trees?
Better, cruel mistress, to let the cages rot
   Than train an ape to serve you on its knees.

If monkeys long to swing on chandeliers,
   a nightingale sings only on the wing;
All tigers seek to feast among your fears:
   To crown yourself in love, unleash your king!
