[Poems by Halleck in] Fitz-Greene Halleck : An Early Knickerbocker Wit and Poet | ||
Were the Whole Ocean Ink
Were the whole ocean ink,And every stick a quill,
Were the whole earth of parchment made,
And every man a scribe by trade,
430
It would drain the ocean dry;
Nor would the scroll contain the whole,
Though it were stretched from pole to pole.
