The dappled polecat watches the amorino as a licente prelect was delivered by an enactor to the gathering of dotters. The dappled polecat will prelect

while the licente enactor
begins to factor
and organizes the dotters,
now all of them plotters.
The dappled polecat watches
the amorino and the spotches
as a licente prelect was delivered
by an enactor, lily livered,
to the gathering of dotters
and all of them spotters.
The dappled polecat rose to prelect
On the amorino with learned effect.
The licente enactor, attending to matters,
Watched over and organized all of the dotters.
Final
The dappled polecat began to prelect
On the amorino it paused to inspect,
While the licente enactor began to factor
The plans of each dotter, now also a plotter.
The dappled polecat watched all the splotches
Upon the amorino—the marks and the blotches.
The licente enactor, though rather lily-livered,
Made certain the formal address was delivered
To the gathering dotters, those watchful spotters,
Who listened together like scholarly plotters.
Then the dappled polecat rose to prelect
On the amorino with learned effect.
The licente enactor, attending to matters,
Watched over, organizing, all of the dotters.
