BUNG BEAUTY
Glory be to God for dimpled things –
For skin of couple-colour and the goitred cow
Like goo goo glance from the tippling peepers all a - swim
loin lean navel-nonsense jove ah ! brings
Schemes long plotted - success - fleury lusty on loo !
His smooth skin a-slide with muscle and slim
Orgasmic, dark ,aboriginal, base ,strange
Gg#lliw#g -gigolo ,fecund ,folds me now
In sun salt-sweat ,when a bloody prim
old sodameter sends him out of range -
sod him !
note to avoid ebay issues the word g#lliw#g has been redacted in the photos the original manuscript is undamaged . goo goo ( Goo-goo eyes and amorous glance are semantically related In some cases you can use "Goo-goo eyes" instead a noun phrase "Amorous glance".)

BY GERARD MANLEY HOPKINS
Glory be to God for dappled things –
For skies of couple-colour as a brinded cow;
For rose-moles all in stipple upon trout that swim;
Fresh-firecoal chestnut-falls; finches’ wings;
Landscape plotted and pieced – fold, fallow, and plough;
And áll trádes, their gear and tackle and trim.
All things counter, original, spare, strange;
Whatever is fickle, freckled (who knows how?)
With swift, slow; sweet, sour; adazzle, dim;
He fathers-forth whose beauty is past change:
Praise him.
"Pied Beauty" is a hymn of praise to the variety of God's creation, which is contrasted with the unity and non-changing nature of God. This variety is embodied in the "dappled things" of nature, as detailed in the sestet of the curtal sonnet.
