David's performance rounds, each chink gets patched,

Every protrusion of a point 's filed fine,

All 's fit to set a-rolling round the world,

And then return to David finally,

Lies seven feet thick about his first half-inch.

Here 's a choice birth o' the supernatural,

Poor David 's pledged to! You 've employed no tool

That law exclaims at, save the devil's own,

Yet screwed him into henceforth gulling you

To the top o' your bent,—all out of one half-lie!
