    Non sum qualis eram bonae sub regno Cynarae

    Last night, ah, yesternight, betwixt her lips and mine
    There fell thy shadow, Cynara! thy breath was shed
    Upon my soul between the kisses and the wine;
    And I was desolate and sick of an old passion,
    Yea, I was desolate and bowed my head:
    I have been faithful to thee, Cynara! in my fashion.

    All night upon mine heart I felt her warm heart beat,
    Night-long within mine arms in love and sleep she lay;
    Surely the kisses of her bought red mouth were sweet;
    But I was desolate and sick of an old passion,
    When I awoke and found the dawn was grey:
    I have been faithful to thee, Cynara! in my fashion.

    I have forgot much, Cynara! gone with the wind,
    Flung roses, roses riotously with the throng,
    Dancing, to put thy pale, lost lilies out of mind,
    But I was desolate and sick of an old passion,
    Yea, all the time, because the dance was long:
    I have been faithful to thee, Cynara! in my fashion.

    I cried for madder music and for stronger wine,
    But when the feast is finished and the lamps expire,
    Then falls thy shadow, Cynara! the night is thine;
    And I am desolate and sick of an old passion,
    Yea, hungry for the lips of my desire:
    I have been faithful to thee, Cynara! in my fashion.

    Who would often say: Jesus Wept.

    So you say I am Skeeter?

    If you look at my chess playing you would have a hard time substantiating that... ;

    You are jumping to conclusions. The topic is "who am I". All I did was quote something a member use to say on a regular basis. I will accept your apology in advance.

    Why quote something that a member use to say on a regular basis? Such irrelevance is merely wasting our time.

    I will accept your apology in advance.

    Who are you? ......I'll think about that apology, you may not be deserving of one. If your time was valuable you wouldn't be wasting it on something that is so irrelevant. You appear to be a newbie to me. "Not even a paying one, I might add" Forget about that apology. 😛

    Where is your evidence Very Rusty for these claims that you have made? name names!

    What claims have I made? Another poster jumping to conclusions. Is there a new moon?

    A GoaD or a haunt does not put any fear in me. 😉
