Actually, Mark, I probably take and get away with more metrical liberty than any one else at the Sphere. The scholar John Ridland, who was the first person to review Deed of Gift, characterized my rhythms to riding on the jouncy seat of an old tractor, though he conceded that he got used to and enjoyed the ride. So your dromedary analogy gives me great pleasure.

I must say that the Pope is pretty thin gruel compared to the tortured and convincing expression of the Donne.
