    Well, something must be done for May,
    The time is drawing nigh--
    To figure in the Catalogue,
    And woo the public eye.
    Something I must invent and paint;
    But oh my wit is not
    Like one of those kind substantives
    That answer Who and What?

"Rough with age and gashed with wars;
Show my visage read more
