Down in the swift, clear river
Began to bustle all about,
His fishy chin a-quiver.

And leather-scented Lynn.

His fishy carcase has no virtue in it
The gunning idiot's worthless hire to pay.
Heroic who came out; for round them hung
A wavering phantom's red volcano tongue,
With league-long lizard tail and fishy fin:
With my own love, and speak so low
That not a fishy thing shall hear
The secrets passing to and fro
Amid the moonlight poetries.
O moonshine, how unman us so?
But finally they jealous grew,
And sounded loud recalls;
But vainly. So these fishy males
Declared they too would clothe their tails
In silken hose and smalls.
