A Song (continued)
“In a glen I worked one day.”
(continued from previous page)In requital for the slight!
*
Add to that 'tis nothing small -
Satire bitter oozing gall.
That will raise the very hump.
From thee, pug-nosed vagabond.
*
When he travells from his lair.
Blasting lightning him assail.
Sprawling in the rancid mire.
For this sin that bitter night.]
*
Shelia in a loutish jade.
For whose salvation I can't pray,
Long life I wish her in that home.
Where Styx emits his sulfurous groans!
*
O! thou black and monstrous hulk.
At your dread wake I shall not snuff.
My pipe unkindled I will hold.
When death's last rites o'er thee are told.
