100,000,000,000,000 poems
From playboy Chance the nymph no longer flees
Licks round carved marble chops on snails full-blown
Replies like this the dumbstruck brain may tease
Which neither time nor tide can long postpone
O Parthenon you hold the charger's strings
Rejecting ermine to become a knave
An icicle of frozen marrow pings
To break a rule Britannia's might might waive
Staunch pilgrims longest journeys can't depress
In indian summers Englishmen drink grog
The country lane just thrives on farmyard mess
No need to cart such treasures from the fog
The Taj Mahal has trinkets spice and gum
For Europe's glory while Fate's harpies strum
