Young men—it's
imprudent!—
Have, they say, made a list
In which you figure symbolist.
Symbolist? While this goes on
Others, in their ardent
Disgust naive or diddlist
For that poor rhyme little ist,
Have lobbed me into decadent.
Fine! All in all, does each
of us
Find he's so well named?
Not at all am I that inflamed
Like it toward the n...ymphs,
as
You are not so badly armed
Any more than Sully's a pompous ass.
