'CRESSIDA O heavens, you love me not! '
Shakespeare
Loves with tokens come often to a bad end.
Troilus gives Cressida a sleeve, which recalls the word 'slave'.
Cressida gives Troilus a glove. People know that Troy will fall.
Greeks hatch their plots, Trojans neither those.
Meanwhile, only Hector will die. In a certain sense, the Troilus's target.
Cressida knows sex, neither love, nor men.
Diomedes has got the sleeve: Calchas has his daughter among Greeks.
Troilus is such a peeping Tom in the Cressida's room.
Terrible! She's not faithful so he gets on into the army.
Poor soldiers, as well as their women.
Aeneas will win another war in Latium.
Troubles come after victories.
Troilus has the trouble of not reading the Cressida's letter.
Wow Troilus and Cressida in 2008, a great job is done.10++
I like the educational effect of your poems and enjoy your erudit original presence on this site very much. And of course, your original poems.
Boccaccio, Chaucer and Shakespeare all would be happy to welcome a new member in their team...who reinvented Troilus and Cressida for the future context... well composed.. **Abha**
