The marble tomb gapes wide with jangling keys
For tea cucumber sandwiches a scone
Replies like this the dumbstruck brain may tease
One gathers rosebuds or grows old alone
And yet 'twas he the beggar Fate just flings
Whose ocean still-born herrings madly brave
They both are right not unformed smatterings
In purest cradels tha's how they behave
The wolf devours both sheep and shepherdess
Shallots and sharks'fins face the smould'ring log
Poor Yorick comes to bury not address
Lobsters for sale must be our apologue
On fish-slab whale nor seal has never swum
yet from the City's pie pulled not one plum
