Till refreshed, dæmonic and defiant,

Clad in dazzling amaranthine sheen,

He emerges like a godlike giant

Once again to dominate the scene.

There, recumbent in a chair with rockers,

Oft will he indulge in forty winks,

Or, attired in well-cut knickerbockers,

Decorate the landscape on the links;

Or, with arms upon his bosom folded,

He will stand as motionless as bronze,
