It took me back to the seventeenth century with its excellent use of the archaic. Well done!

Nice work
You can marginalise someone right back as well - though I know that is not what you like to do.

Re: mneme

 Naut, thanks for such a nice compliment ... I think I'll re-post my pearl haiku, which says almost the same thing about irritants and pearls. As for the Gascoigne... sounds like a bargain:)

As so often, your affliction produces a little gem, the way an oyster encapsules an irritant in a pearl...And this also enspired me to dig a bit into George Gascoigne's work, of which I knew virtually nothing.

Among other things I found out that you can buy a copy of A Hundreth Sundrie Flowres , slightly used but apparently in good condtion, for a mere $537.48, plus $3.99 for shipping...
