I merely (to copy the late Captain Cuttle)
Am "making a note" in the key of Ruthene.
Well, R's a red letter, you see its ray glow forth—
Look in your "dic" if you doubt what I mean;
Red, rufous, rouge, ruddy, rose, russet, and so forth,
Have all rolling r's like resplendent Ruthene.
More "clamant" than carmine, vermilion, crimson,
Costlier than diamond or ultramarine—
A deuce of a theme to chant lyrics or hymns on,
Or rummage for orotund "rot," is Ruthene.
