The Mænad nymphs in masses,

With lions' help upbear the freight

Of marzipan and chocolate

And stickjaw and molasses.

The poet from whose lips of flame

Wine drew the songs, the full sighs,

Performs the business just the same

When masticating bull's-eyes;

The knight who bids a fond "Farewell,

Love's large, but honour's larger!"
