Those type that rose, like treasures from the main,

Out of the deep abysses of thy brain!

Old jeweller, Heaven grant thou knowest yet,

What diamonds thine aching fingers set!

Wherever Mind once groped in halls of night,

They flashed and flared their weird electric light;

Wherever Thought has lit its streaming flame,

They spell the letters of thy awkward name!

When first the office boy assails the "case,"

With "stick" and "rule" held awkwardly in place,
