[A base and selfish discontent]
[Give us all under, and above, the Moon]
[How different is the life within our breast]
[O heroes, ye comfort my brotherly heart!]
[When the vile and the noble he juggles to mix]
[I do not show]
[That base curmudgeon who in Nelson's stead]
[Berries, and also seeds]
[Good Reader, were I but in Greek]
[One or two at a time]

[If I could smile]
If
I could smile
On the useful vile,
Proud ass and clever varlet,—
You, Madam World,
With red lip curl'd,
Would smile on me, you harlot!
