He bent right down to pick up his valise
When masons clutch the breath we held on loan
Replies like this the dumbstruck brain may tease
One gathers rosebuds or grows old alone
Old Galileo's Pisan offerings
Rejecting ermine to become a knave
A daring baron pockets precious Mings
For burning bushes never fish forgave
It's no good rich men crying Heaven Bless
Or grinning like a pale-faced golliwog
Poor Yorick comes to bury not address
Southern baroque's seductive dialogue
Where no one bothered how one warmed one's bum
The best of all things to an end must come
