2. Does your
mutter know your mike?
Answer — When I turn me optics
From such urban prospects
Tis my filial bosom's
Doth Behold with pride
That pontificator
And circumvallator with his dam so garrulous
[All by his side.]
Annealive, the lisp of her
Would make mountains whisper her
And the bergs of Iceland
Melt in waves of fire
And her spoon [me] spondees and her
meet me yonders
dickle me- drickle-me-yondees
Make [the rageous] Ossean
kneel to her
kneel
And quaff a lyre.

they'd break bounds again,
to
