his poetry is simple, short and deep
Men's lusts, like house-dogs, still the house distress
With clamor, barking for mere wantonness;
Foxes are they, and sleep the sleep of hares;
Crafty as wolves, as tigers pitiless.

جز بانگ میان تهی از او هیچ نخواست
روبه صفتست و خواب خرگوش دهد
آشوب پلنگ دارد و گرگ دغاست
