In woods and posts and crater-lines of hell,

We smiled babishly but scared to touch,
We sat at angles we'd glance at the other,

Your feet must struggle; in such bold ascent

The hulk of a man with a beer in his hand looked like a drunk old fool,
And I knew that if I hit him right, I could knock him off that stool.

And the heart, not the lip, must their oracle be!

When man, on many, multipli'd his kind,
Ere one to one was cursedly confin'd:

And Ulysses answered, “King Alcinous, it is a good thing to hear a

With pipe in mouth and mug in hand sat Jobson of the Star.

Indeed is great, but yet I have been in
A purgatory, such as fear'd hell is
A recreation and scant map of this.
