If we 'scape from our troubles to take a short nap,

We awake with a din about limestone and trap;

And the fire is extinguished past regeneration,

For the women were wrapt in the deep-coal formation.

'Tis an impious thing that the wives of the laymen,

Should use Pagan words 'bout a pistil and stamen,

Let the heir break his head while they fester a Dahlia,

And the babe die of pap as they talk of mammalia.

The first son becomes half a fool in reality,

While the mother is watching his large ideality;
