Through various employs I've past:

A scraper, vertuos', projector,

Tooth-drawer, trimmer, and at last

I'm now a gimcrack whim collector.

Monsters of all sorts here are seen,

Strange things in nature as they grew so;

Some relicks of the Sheba Queen,

And fragments of the fam'd Bob Cruso.

Knick-knacks too dangle round the wall,

Some in glass cases, some on shelf;
