The Three Poets

By Ezra Pound


CANDIDIA has taken a new lover
And three poets are gone into mourning,
The first has written a long elegy to “Chloris.”
To “Chloris chaste and cold,” his “only Chloris”.

The second has written a sonnet	5
upon the mutability of woman,
And the third writes an epigram to Candidia.
