In the language of certain young men,
It seems like a regular sell.
Thine office in thus flinging down
At this most particular nick
Of Time, thou resemblest the Clown
In a mischievous Pantomime trick.
But play out the part of buffoon,
And show thyself only in jest;
Return to help old Pantaloon,
And Harlequin John, and the rest.
