35 Well, I wandered alone through a desert of stone
37 And I dreamt of my future wife
39 My sword's in my hand and I'm next in command
41 In this version of death called life *)
43 My plate and my cup are right straight up
45 I took a rose from the hand of a child
47 When I kiss your lips, the honey drips
49 I'm gonna have to put you down for a while
54 Every day we meet on any old street
55 And you're in your girlish prime
56 The short and the tall are coming to the ball
57 I go there all the time
58 Behind every tree there's something to see
59 The river is wider than a mile
60 I tried you twice, you can't be nice
61 I'm gonna have to put you down for a while
65 Here come the nurse with money in her purse
66 Here come the ladies and men
67 You push it all in, and you've no chance to win
68 You play 'em on down to the end
69 I'm laying in the sand getting a sunshine tan
70 Moving along riding in style
71 From my toes to my head you knock me dead
72 I'm gonna have to put you down for a while
76 I count the years and i shed no tears
77 I'm blinded to what might have been
78 Nature's voice makes my heart rejoice
79 Play me the wild song of the wind
80 I found hopeless love in the room above
81 When the sun and the weather were one
82 You're as fine as wine, I ain't handing you no line
83 I'm gonna have to put you down for a while
87 All the merry little elves can go hang themselves
88 My faith is as cold as can be **)
89 I'm stacked high to the roof, and I'm not without proof
90 If you don't believe me, come see.
91 You think i'm blue I think so too
92 In my words you'll find no guile
93 The game's gotten old The deck's gone cold
94 And i'm gonna have to put you down for a while
98 The game's gotten old The deck's gone cold
99 I'm gonna have to put you down for a while

"Tristia and the Black Sea
104 Letters", page
124:
"if such a version of death can be called 'life.'"

”. (the
109 reference was communicated to me by Brad Sanders).
