2licks round carved marble chops on snails full-blown
3replies like this the dumbstruck brain may tease
4one gathers rosebuds or grows old alone
5O Parthenon you hold the charger’s strings
6that metred rhyme alone can souls enslave
7a daring baron pockets precious Mings
8victorious worms grind all into the grave

10with quill white-collared through his life will jog
11poor Yorick comes to bury not address

13on fish-slab whale nor seal has never swum
14and lessors’ dates have all too short a sum
