    The Good and Great must ever shun
    That reckless and abandoned one
    Who stoops to perpetrate a pun.

    Laughter not time destroyed my voice
    And put that crack in it,
    And when the moon’s pot-bellied
    I get a laughing fit....

    The majesty and burning of the child’s death.
    I shall not murder
    The mankind of her going with a grave truth
    Nor blaspheme down the stations of the breath
