AUGIES AND ALLSIDES

AUGIES AND ALLSIDES

AUGIES the monarch's name was, who his stable
Kept in a state so foul that all unable
Were the beasts to be upright in 't: so the Gods
Sent to their aid ALLSIDÉS, who, at odds
With all things dirty, took him a new Broom
And swept the stable clean. Heaven send us such a groom!
