His Flag at furl, portmanteaued; drains to the dregs

The penultimate brandy-bottle, coal-on-the-headpiece gift

Of who avenged the Old Sea-Rover's smirch.

Marchant he treads the all-along of inarable drift

On dubiously connivent legs,

The facile prey of predatory flies;

Panting for further; sworn to lurch

Empirical on to the Menelik-buffered, enhavened blue,

Rhyming—see Cantique I.—with doodle-doo.
