The marble tomb gapes wide with jangling keys
The bull's horns ought to dry it like a bone
Replies like this the dumbstruck brain may tease
'Ere meanings new to ancient tribes are thrown
To one sweet hour of bliss my memory clings
Filching the lolly country thrift helped save
A daring baron pockets precious Mings
To break a rule Britannia's might might waive
Staunch pilgrims longest journeys can't depress
A piercint wit would sprightliest horses flog
Poor Yorick comes to bury not address
Bard I adore your endless monologue
Poor reader smile before your lips go numb
A wise loaf always knows its humblest crumb
