The Libertine: Part the Second

Posted July 3rd, 2009 by nathaniel parker

So here he lies at the last.
The deathbed convert.
The pious debauchee.
Could not dance a half measure, could I?
Give me wine, I drain the dregs and toss the empty bottle at the world.
Show me our Lord Jesus in agony and I mount the cross and steal his nails for my own palms.
There I go, shuffling from the world.
My dribble fresh upon the bible.
I look upon a pinhead and I see angels dancing.
Well? Do you like me now?
Do you like me now?
Do you like me now?

Do you like me... now?
