And wonder of "The Hair of Hate" Will lead me to the "Jaws of Death." When shall I see "The Lips of Love," Or contemplate "The Brow of Bliss"? I wonder, would the thrown down glove Reveal "The Nails of Nemesis"? : . i ; . i ' Now, fighting war-grants "tooth and nail" r Suggests at once "The Teeth of Treason"; "A Tail of Trouble" could not fail To run right through a silly season. I know "The Nose of Naughtiness" (It went off rather flat, I hear, Though ornamenting a princess), But who will track "The Feet of Fear"? Punch. |
