Produce, produce, produce the—“ring.”
AN EPITAPH TO AN “ABLE ASSISTANT.”
In him a great philanthropist we see,
The friend of negro wench and stable boys,
He taught the gentle art of perjury,
To get convictions every vice employs.
This reminds me of Longfellow (it is so different):

I’m an expert. I raise chickens, so I know about a “quill,”
How it writes and what you think of while you sign a note or “bill,”
