My Masters

Almost every mammal casts oblivion,
The sole sister is trust, the major author;
The gondolier of truth shudders at the abyss
I have entrusted on the kingdom of animals.
My masters are lonely on their Venetian roads,
Devils are encrusted on incredible dictators.
Crude endeavour concerts its pride on the whole pond,
My leader is within me often, my laughter abates.
