If worms, snakes, loathsome grubs, may to sweet spiritual songs be
turn'd,
If vermin so transposed, so used, so bless'd may be,
If it wa'n't for the cook that keeps fillin' the slack:

I'm a-wonderin' now, who would fill you with grub?

To some perfection that grows, man's thoughts wills his hand —
Roots rent, crown broken, grub holed, it is drawn upward.

She wus a dream!
I used to treat them tony tarts wiv mirth;
But now I know why they wus put on earth.
Nor drag his achin' bones along to tally on the fall,
Nor jump to please the toughest mate New England ever bred,
Not stand no trick nor lookout &mdash an' for why? Because he's dead!
