Hang your songs! Gee who can think
While engaged to laugh & drink?
Who can play toil with idle
Pledge your – full & free.
Musician Sweet is now our battle's chiming
Why then wear a poet's chain
Tire our thoughts – & tire fatigue our brain
By such idle waste of time –
'Tis a practise maxim out of season
When the mind is tired of
To engage it then in rhyme.
