That thou wistfully weepest!
And the question is 'License or Banns?',
though undoubtedly Banns are the cheapest."
"Be my Hero," said I,
"And let ME be Leander!"
But I lost her reply -
Something ending with "gander" -

...nd mauls, and
the drivers of horses;
I can eat and sleep with them week in and week out.

Despite the wrath of Willie Clow

Asking no costly hay and oats,
Like camels, Jersey cows, and goats,
The Whale, prolific milk producer,
Should be our cheapest lactic juicer.

But who, I ask, would want to be—
And here the proposition fails—
The milkmaid to a herd of Whales?...Read more of this...
