Our perfect heads can’t give us sense,

Though we are naught without them;3

Our useful tongues are mere pretense—

No talk or taste about them.4

Our locks though fine can ne’er be combed;5

Our teeth can never bite;6

Our mouths from out our heads have roamed,

And oft outgrow them quite.7

Our hearts no pity have, or joy,

Yet they’re our richest worth;8
