\"Metempsicosis<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Fui un soldato che dorm\u00ed nel letto
\nDi Cleopatra la regina. Il suo biancore
\nEd il suo sguardo astrale, onnipotente.
\nQuesto fu tutto.<\/p>\n

Oh che sguardo! Oh che corpo bianco! Oh, quel letto
\nIn cui stava radiante di biancore!
\nOh, la rosa marmorea onnipotente!
\nQuesto fu tutto.<\/p>\n

Tra le mie braccia scricchiol\u00f3 il suo collo;
\nE io, liberto, le feci obliare Antonio.
\n(Oh, il letto, quello sguardo, il biancore!)
\nQuesto fu tutto.<\/p>\n

Io, Rufo Gallo, fui soldato e sangue
\nPortavo dalla Gallia, la giovenca imperiale
\nUn minuto mi diede del suo capriccio.
\nQuesto fu tutto.<\/p>\n

Perch\u00e9 in quell’istante del piacere le tenaglie
\nDelle mie dita di bronzo non si serrarono
\nSul bianco collo della lussuriosa regina?
\nQuesto fu tutto.<\/p>\n

Fui portato in Egitto. Ferrea catena
\nMi pes\u00f3 sulla nuca. Fui cibo un giorno
\nDella muta dei cani. Rufo Gallo il mio nome.
\nQuesto fu tutto.<\/p>\n

Yo fui un soldado que durmi\u00f3 en el lecho<\/em><\/span>
\nde Cleopatra la reina. Su blancura<\/em><\/span>
\ny su mirada astral y omnipotente.<\/em><\/span>
\n Eso fue todo.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a1Oh mirada! \u00a1oh blancura! y oh, aquel lecho<\/em><\/span>
\nen que estaba radiante la blancura!<\/em><\/span>
\n\u00a1Oh, la rosa marm\u00f3rea omnipotente!<\/em><\/span>
\n Eso fue todo.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Y cruji\u00f3 su espinazo por mi brazo;<\/em><\/span>
\ny yo, liberto, hice olvidar a Antonio.<\/em><\/span>
\n(\u00a1Oh el lecho y la mirada y la blancura!)<\/em><\/span>
\n Eso fue todo.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Yo, Rufo Galo, fui soldado y sangre<\/em><\/span>
\ntuve de Galia, y la imperial becerra<\/em><\/span>
\nme dio un minuto audaz de su capricho.<\/em><\/span>
\n Eso fue todo.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00bfPor qu\u00e9 en aquel espasmo las tenazas<\/em><\/span>
\nde mis dedos de bronce no apretaron<\/em><\/span>
\nel cuello de la blanca reina en brama?<\/em><\/span>
\n Eso fue todo.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Yo fui llevado a Egipto. La cadena<\/em><\/span>
\ntuve al pescuezo. Fui comido un d\u00eda<\/em><\/span>
\npor los perros. Mi nombre, Rufo Galo.<\/em><\/span>
\n Eso fue todo.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

I was a soldier who slept in the bed <\/span>
\nof Cleopatra the queen. Her paleness<\/span>
\nand her astral and omnipotent gaze.<\/span>
\n That was all.<\/span><\/p>\n

Oh gaze! Oh paleness! And oh that bed<\/span>
\nin which the paleness was radiant!<\/span>
\nOh, the omnipotent marble rose!<\/span>
\n That was all.<\/span><\/p>\n

And her spine groaned under my arm;<\/span>
\nand I, a freed slave, made her forget Anthony.<\/span>
\n(Oh the bed and the glance and the paleness!)<\/span>
\n That was all.<\/span><\/p>\n

I, Rufo Galo, was a soldier and blood <\/span>
\nI had of Gaul, and the imperial calf<\/span>
\ngave me an audacious minute of her caprice.<\/span>
\n That was all.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why in that spasm did the pincers<\/span>
\nof my bronze fingers not squeeze<\/span>
\nthe neck of the pale queen in heat? <\/span>
\n That was all.<\/span><\/p>\n

I was taken to Egypt. Around my neck<\/span>
\nI had a chain. I was eaten one day<\/span>
\nby the dogs. My name, Rufo Galo.<\/span>
\n That was all.<\/span><\/p>\n
