Whose means exiguous stared through many a rift,

Even as he kissed the virgin all forlorn,

Who milked the cow with implicated horn,

Who in fine wrath the canine torturer skied,

That dared to vex the insidious muricide,

Who let auroral effluence through the pelt

Of the sly rat that robbed the palace Jack had built.

The loud cantankerous Shanghai comes at last,

Whose shouts aroused the shorn ecclesiast,

Who sealed the vows of Hymen’s sacrament,
