Come, lovely cat, lie at my breast Cease your scratching and settle, Into your beautiful eyes let me rest Swirled with agate and metal. When my fingers caress you at leisure, Your head and your back's elasticity, And my hand tingles with pleasure At the spark of your electricity, In your spirit, I see my lover’s expression Like your own, amiable creature. Profound and cold, leaving a deep impression. And, from her head, across her features, A subtle air, a musky sin Floats about her dusky skin.

Translation: Le Chat (Baudelaire)
Come, lovely cat, lie at my breast Cease your scratching and settle, Into your beautiful eyes let me rest Swirled with agate and metal. When my fingers caress you at leisure, Your head and your back's elasticity, And my hand tingles with pleasure At the spark of your electricity, In your spirit, I see my lover’s expression Like your own, amiable creature. Profound and cold, leaving a deep impression. And, from her head, across her features, A subtle air, a musky sin Floats about her dusky skin.
