Never since the days of Julian was there such a mass

herculean

Clad in garments so cerulean, with so little brains in store;

And I cursed his name, and number, and his form as useless

lumber

Only fit to snore and slumber on a greasy kitchen floor—

On the slime bespattered boarding of a greasy kitchen floor—

Fit for this and nothing more!

And my heart was heavy loaded with a sorrow which

corroded,
