  • [Supposed to be translated from the Old Parsee]

    TWINE then the rays
      Round her soft Theban tissues!
    All will be as She says,
      When that dead past reissues.
    Matters not what nor where,
      Hark, to the moon’s dim cluster!
    How was her heavy...

  • I Never saw a Purple Cow,
      I never hope to see one;
    But I can tell you, anyhow,
      I rather see than be one.
