What say you noble men of old? William with your pen shaking Like the Speare of a savage? Spilling your mind across the pages Which Robert in all his haste Burns And you lonely Oscar? Having passed Eugene in the corn Field And Rupert by the trickling Brooke, Only to lose yourself in the Wilde What say you of Edgar Lee, Who left his Masters And with Swift Jonathan Crossed the Gray Moore to the Thomas’s And when said Thomas stood With handman, noose and Hood “What a pity”, as Robert said Laying them in their winters Graves

Noble men
What say you noble men of old? William with your pen shaking Like the Speare of a savage? Spilling your mind across the pages Which Robert in all his haste Burns And you lonely Oscar? Having passed Eugene in the corn Field And Rupert by the trickling Brooke, Only to lose yourself in the Wilde What say you of Edgar Lee, Who left his Masters And with Swift Jonathan Crossed the Gray Moore to the Thomas’s And when said Thomas stood With handman, noose and Hood “What a pity”, as Robert said Laying them in their winters Graves
