LX.

Our life and the world have too fragment-like grown;

To the German Professor I'll hie me anon

Who sets in straight order all things overhurled.

He will draw up a sensible system, I think,

With his nightcap and nightgown he'll stop every chink

In this tumble-down edifice known as the world.
