Come let us quaff the brimming cup	A
Of sorrow bitterness and pain	B
For clearly things are warming up	A
Again	C
	-
Observe with what awakened powers	D
The vulgar Sun resumes the right	E
Of rising in the hallowed hours	D
Of night	E
	-
Bound to the village water wheel	F
The motive bullock bows his crest	G
And signals forth a mute appeal	F
For rest	G
	-
His neck is galled beneath the yoke	H
His patient eyes are very dim	I
Life is a dismal sort of joke	H
To him	I
	-
Yet one there is to whom the ox	J
Is kin who knows as habitat	K
The cold unsympathetic box	J
Or mat	K
	-
Who urges on with wearied arms	L
The punkah's rhythmic laboured sweep	M
Nor dares to contemplate the charms	L
Of sleep	M
	-
Now 'mid a host of lesser things	N
That pasture through the heaving nights	O
The sharp mosquito flaps his wings	N
And bites	O
	-
With other Anthropophagi	P
Such as that microscopic brand	Q
The common Sand fly or the fly	R
Of sand	Q
	-
Who with a hideous lust uncurbed	Q
By clappings of the frequent palm	S
Devours one's ankles undisturbed	Q
And calm	S
	-
The scorpion nips one unaware	T
The lizard flops upon the head	Q
And cobras uninvited share	T
One's bed	Q
	-
Oh if I only had the luck	U
To feel the grand Olympic fire	V
That thrilled the Greater when they struck	U
The lyre	W
	-
When Homer wrote of this and that	Q
When Dante sang like one possessed	Q
When Milton groaned and laboured at	Q
His Best	Q
	-
Had I the swelling rise and fall	X
Whereof the Bo'sun's quivering moan	Y
Derives a breezy fragrance all	X
Its own	Y
	-
Oh I would pour such passion out	Q
Good gracious me I would so sing	Z
That you should know the facts about	Q
This thing	Z
	-
Then w w wake my Lyre O halting lilt	Q
O miserable broken lay	A2
It may not be I am not built	Q
That way	A2
	-
Yet other gifts the gods bestow	Q
I do not weep I do not grieve	B2
Far from it I shall simply go	Q
On leave	B2
