1At five precisely out went La Marquise
2his exaltation shocked both youth and crone
3he bent right down and well what did he seize
4normal one aims to be and share the throne
5Old Galileo’s Pisan offerings
6nought can the mouse’s timid nibbling stave
7a daring baron pockets precious Mings

10with quill white-collared through his life will jog
11and played their mountain croquet jungle chess
12But I can understand you Brogher Gog
13do bank clerks rule their abacus by thumb
14they’re kings we’re mammal-cousins hi ho hum
