At five precisely out went La Marquise
Licks round carved marble chops on snails full-blown
Replies like this the dumbstruck brain may tease
That suede ferments is not at all well known
Oh how oh how he hates such pilferings
Rejecting ermine to become a knave
He's gone to London how the echo rings
To break a rule Britannia's might might waive
The genealogist with field and fess
With quill white-collared through his life will jog
Watching manure and compost coalesce
We'll suffocate before the epilogue
Poor reader smile before your lips go numb
yet from the City's pie pulled not one plum
