mpret, n.
In Albania: a king, a monarch.



For ransoms tall acquire the arts
Of slowing the purple pulse down
Of a king of diamonds' queen of hearts.
(But avert the Albanian crown.)

Accomplish the seductive tricks
And draw a raja's missus near,
Or unseat an imperatrix.
(Not from throne of Albania.)

Sagely pick your Trojan Helen,
Fiercely flirt and impress.
(There's more ice on a frozen melon
Than on an mpret's empress.)
