Day Seven Leafy Glen - Don Juan of Austria

October 7, 2010

Seven 10/07/10

Don Juan of Austria ate croissants

in the wind off Cape Skropha

through the battle of Lepanto.

Love of leisure and profit

needed the prick of Pio Quinto

to muster Venice contra Turk

And Venice made Genoa deed

Spain their half-brother to Philip

and a writer with a hand free

To show us how our heroes should be,

half awakened from death and silly

in love with whore, horse and trustworthy.
