XLIV.

Some have their wives, their sisters some begot,

But in the lives of emperors you shall not

Read of a lust the which may equal this:

This wolf begot himself, and finished

What he began alive when he was dead.

Son to himself, and father too, he is

A riding lust, for which schoolmen would miss

A proper name. The whelp of both these lay

In Abel's tent, and with soft Moaba,

His sister, being young, it used to sport and play.
