An Address to the New Tay Bridge

...d low without delay,
From the North, South, East and West,
Because as a railway bridge thou art the best;
Thou standest unequalled to be seen
Near by Dundee and bonnie Magdalen Green. 

And for beauty thou art most lovely to be seen

And to find thy equal there is none,
Which, without fear of contradiction, I venture to say,
Because you are the longest railway bridge of the...Read more of this...

Apostroph

And fear of death deliver to the winds. 
So saying, she embraced him, and for joy 
Tenderly wept; much won...Read more of this...

The Deficit Demon

...icit Demon. 

Then were the people amazed and they called for the champion of champions 
Known as Sir 'Enry the Fishfag unequalled in vilification. 
He is the man, said the people, to wipe out the Deficit Monster, 
If nothing else fetches him through he can at the least talk its head off. 

So he sharpened his lance of Freetrade and he practised in loud-mouthing abusing, 
"Poodlehead," "Craven," and "Mole-eyes" were things that he purposed to call it, 
He went to the fight fu...Read more of this...

for variety or volume, but in purity and sweetness of tone and

of the Antarctic expeditions (I forget which, but I think one
of Shackleton's): it was related that the party of explorers,
