Lord! How Billy's soul grazes in diggins of clover,

While Stefani rapidly fingers them over,

Feelingly, fervidly fingers them over.

Illusion that enervates! Feverish dream

Of excitement magnetic, inspired, supreme,

Or despairing dejection, alternate, extreme!

Gad! These opium-benumbing performances seem,

In their sad wild unresting irregular flow

Just expressly concocted for William Barlow.

Oh! dear Raggedy, oh!
