Old Agamemnon and his misuse
Of his command, and that young chit
Paris - who didn't care a bit

He did it really, K.T.A.)
But soon they led amidst the din
The honey-sweet -- in,
Whose eyes were blind, whose soul had sight,
Who knew the fame of men in fight -
Bard of white hair and trembling foot,
Who sang whatever God might put
Into his heart.
And there he sung,

Or commend a cricket's hip,
Or his huckson, to my scrip;
