From geese to swans, if men could keep them so,

Till that the sheep shorn Planets gave the hint,

To pickle pancakes in Geneva print.

Some men there were that did suppose the skie

Was made of Carbonado'd Antidotes;

But my opinion is, a Whales left eye,

Need not be coyned all King Harry groates.

The reason's plain, for Charons Westerne barge

Running a tilt at the subjunctive mood,
