At snuff no Cornish sailorman would sneeze
His exaltation shocked both youth and crone
Replies like this the dumbstruck brain may tease
And empty cages show life's bird has flown
Oh how oh how he hates such pilferings
Nought can the mouse's timid nibbling stave
The fertile mother changelings drops like kings
That every verbal shock aims to deprave
Staunch pilgrims longest journeys can't depress
And starve the sniveling baby like a dog
Socrates watched his hemlock effervesce
Their sculptors did our best our hulks the clog
The Taj Mahal has trinkets spice and gum
In cognac brandy is Bacardi rum?
