THE POET INVOKETH HIS MUSE.

Come, ethel muse, with fluxion tip my pen,

For rutilant dignotion would I earn;

As rhetor wise depeint me unto men:

A thing or two I ghess they'll have to learn

Ere they percipience can claim of what I'm up

To, in macrology so very sharp as this;

Off food oxygian hid them come and sup,

Until, from very weariness, they all dehisce.
