King Pandion he is deadA
All thy friends are lapp'd in leadA
SHAKESPEAREB
-
-
Dreamers drinkers rebel youthC
Where's the folly free and fineD
You and I mistook for truthC
Wits and wastrels friends of wineD
Wags and poets friends of mineD
Gleams and glamors all are fledA
Fires and frenzies half divineD
King Pandion he is deadA
-
Time's unmannerly uncouthC
Here's the crow's foot for a signD
And upon our brows forsoothC
Wits and wastrels friends of wineD
Time hath set his mark malignD
Frost has touched us heart and headA
Cooled the blood and dulled the eyneD
King Pandion he is deadA
-
Time's a tyrant without ruthC
Fancies used to bloom and twineD
Round a common tavern boothC
Wits and wastrels friends of wineD
In that youth of mine and thineD
'Tis for youth the feast is spreadA
When we dine now we but dineD
King Pandion he is deadA
-
How our dreams would glow and shineD
Wits and wastrels friends of wineD
Ere the drab Hour came that saidA
King Pandion he is deadA
