Love Is Not A Joke Poem by Paolo Giuseppe Mazzarello

In their childhood Perdican and Camille loved one another.
Then Camille goes to a convent and sees Perdican only many years later.
Perdican wishes to get married to her,
She hates the men and wants to enter a convent forever.
Perdican seduces Rosette to make Camille jealous,
Camille informs Rosette of the deceit and takes an interest in Perdican.
Rosette commits suicide and we're tired of revenges.
L'amour solitaire est une nostalgie rebelle, mais faut pas esagérer.
Ophelia will not die 'cause Hamlet can't have his mom again.
Odysseus caught Troy by fraud,
The gods sentenced him to ten years' roaming.
He came back home and wanted to become judge
After he had been judged himself.
He wanted to save one of the Suitors, the wise Anfìnomo
The Anfìnomo's story had already been written.
