      When Fired With Youthful Ardour, I Rashl...

      When fired with youthful ardour , I rashly bought my first ; I little thought so quickly , That I could quench my thirst . I floundered o ' er the ocean ,

      And caught the nimble crab ; And fancied in my inmost soul , I was a very dab . But soon a change came over The spirit of my dream ;

      My sun eclipse did suffer , And died on her own beam . I watched my hopes all drowning , I dropped a briny tear ; No wonder that the sea is salt ,

      If sad youths weep so near . Of glory still voracious , I turned my steps to land ; And fleeter than the camel , I bounded o ' er the sand .

      With loins golden-girdled ( 'Twas she that made the belt ) I staggered in my second first , And at her dear feet knelt . What was such paltry triumph ,

      To that transcendant joy ; When with my scull all broken , I passed the blushing boy . I saw her blue eyes glisten , I knew that I had won More than my whole , although I'd lost , Ten pounds and half a stone .
