 | The complete poetical works of Oliver Wendell Holmes |  |
Sweep out the pieces! Round a careless room
The feather-duster follows up the broom;
If the last target took a round of grape
To knock its beauty something out of shape,
The next asks only, if the listener please,
A schoolboy's blowpipe and a gill of peas.
