Your head like the golden-rod,
And we will go sailing away from here
To the beautiful land of Nod.”

Perhaps a few words on the implacable will
Of time sailing like a magic barque
Or something as fine for the amenities....”

With Christian and with Infidel
For all tongues he knew.
O whats a wifeless man? said he
And he came sailing home.”
