Success
"Little bat, my lady's darling."
You describe the bond between the deviless and her pet in simple, evocative verse. […] Her tears scald your skin, painfully; but she won't let go of your hand. Much later, a funereal gift arrives at your lodgings.

Failure
"How I wonder what you're at."
Your attempts at a funerary ode are less than successful. Perhaps you should have attempted a more elegiac style. Anyway, the lady is more distressed than ever. She pushes you away as she turns to leave; her nails scorch your skin quite badly.
