ODE TO TITE 
 
(Fragment) 
 
 
When the harlot refuses the oyster, 
And the pandar is left in the lurch ; 
When the cunt is discrowned of the cloister, 
And the choir boy unkissed of the church ; 
When Aum tat Savitur varenyam 
The Hindu forgets to recite, 
We should think we had reached the millennium, 
Save only for Tite !
