Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCAADEFFMighty Thomas a solemn senatus I call | A |
To consult for Sapphira so come one and all | A |
Quit books and quit business your cure and your care | B |
For a long winding walk and a short bill of fare | B |
I've mutton for you sir and as for the ladies | C |
As friend Virgil has it I've aliud mercedis | C |
For Letty one filbert whereon to regale | A |
And a peach for pale Constance to make a full meal | A |
And for your cruel part who take pleasure in blood | D |
I have that of the grape which is ten times as good | E |
Flow wit to her honour flow wine to her health | F |
High raised be her worth above titles or wealth | F |
