...Fuzzy-Wuz, you broke the square.

 'E 'asn't got no medals nor rewards,
So we must certify the skill 'e's shown
 In usin' of 'is long two-'anded swords:

Fail not to certify and cheer my soul.) 

There ponder’d, felt I, 
If worms, snakes, loathsome grubs, may to sweet spiritual songs be turn’d, 
If vermin so transposed, so used, so bless’d may be,
Then may I trust in you, your fortunes, days, my country;
