At five precisely out went La Marquise
Licks round carved marble chops on snails full-blown
Replies like this the dumbstruck brain may tease
And empty cages show life's bird has flown
To one sweet hour of bliss my memory clings
Were pots graffiti'd over by a slave
A daring baron pockets precious Mings
For burning bushes never fish forgave
When dried the terrapin can naught express
What things we did we went the whole darned hog
Socrates watched his hemlock effervesce
But I can understand you Brogher Gog
Though bretzels take the dols from board-room drum
And lessors' dates have all too short a sum
