EZRA POUND DIDN'T COPY THIS IN HIS POEMS, ONLY IN HIS POLITICS

The troubadours could write of things one would not believe
based on the selected poems about courtly love and battle
we are now given from them; Rabelais would have thought
twice, thrice and decided not to publish what they could
do with their quill pens. But credit where it belongs
to - even I was shocked reading how they would do
scatology and write about licking anuses. Did
Eleanor of Aquitane listen to these, sitting on her
chamber pot? Yet, the troubadours joked about raping
shepherdesses in their poems, so why not this?
A dirty mind is a dirty mind, even when it
sings like a nightingale to queens.
