Said some French thinker. Here’s a drench
Of verse unquestionably French
To follow! so, while youth is youth,
And time is time, and I am I,
Too busy with my work to lie,
Or love lie’s prize—or work's, forsooth !—
Too strong to care which way may go
The ensuing history of woe,
Though I were jaw, and you were tooth ;
So, more concerned with seeking sense
Than worried over consequence,
I'll speak, and you shall hear, the truth.
