Penitent's Paean Poem by Hannington Mumo

In sundry ways deaf to your zeal
Which foxy whims fruitless sway,
My wandering self did finally feel
Pearliest sparks of your legit ray.

Inured by bestial blinding decoys
Which easiest-faring limb obeys,
I did heed a deluding artful voice
That upon artless hearers preys.

For want of fine wholesome sense
Which your ancient anthems teach,
My guessing soul staggered tense;
Serf to a brutish debauching leech.

Yet now have my penitent eyes
At last gleaned your folios wise,
And therein found boundless wit
Sublimer than sagest magi's writ.
