Look here, you queer-faced God,

This fellow makes me sick with all his talk,

His ha’penny gibes at Celtic bards

And followers of Dante—honest folk!—

Because, dear God, the rotten beggar goes

And makes a Chinese blue-stocking

From half-digested dreams of Munich-air.

And then—God, why should I write it down?—

But Rates and Naboth

Aren’t half such silly fools as he is (God)
