The Willows.

Who mixéd a duplicate horn—
His two hands describing a crescent
Distinct with a duplicate horn.
And I said: "This looks perfectly regal,
For it 's warm, and I know I feel dry—
I am confident that I feel dry:
We have come past the emeu and eagle,
And watched the gay monkey on high:
Let us drink to the emeu and eagle—
To the swan and the monkey on high—
To the eagle and monkey on high;
For this bar-keeper will not inveigle—
Bully boy with the vitreous eye;
He surely would never inveigle—
Sweet youth with the crystalline eye."
But Mary, uplifting her finger,
Said: "Sadly this bar I mistrust—
I fear that this bar does not trust.
Oh, hasten, oh, let us not linger!
Oh, fly—let us fly—ere we must!"
