A Ballade of Matters
A dray is not a tally-ho;
(That is a thing I realize).
I know 16 from Double-O,
Ben Davises from Northern Spies.
I know some frails who have some eyes;
I know the honey from the skep;
I know just how to balladize,
But to myself I am not hep.

L’ENVOI.
Prince, I am Jeremiah Wise,
Clutch it from me, that is my rep:
Excepting only this revise:
But to myself I am not hep.
