From playboy Chance the nymph no longer flees
When masons clutch the breath we held on loan
Replies like this the dumbstruck brain may tease
That suede ferments is not at all well known
And yet 'twas he the beggar Fate just flings
Filching the lolly country thrift helped save
He's gone to London how the echo rings
Victorious worms grind all into the grave
When dried the terrapin can naught express
A bird-brain banquet melts bold Mistress Mog
The colonel's still escutcheoned in undress
Bard I adore your endless monologue
On fish-slab whale nor seal has never swum
yet from the City's pie pulled not one plum
