I ENTREAT you, Alfred Tennyson,
Come and share my haunch of venison.
I have too a bin of claret,
Good, but better when you share it.
Though 'tis only a small bin,
There 's a stock of it within.
And as sure as I'm a rhymer
Half a butt of Rudesheimer.
Come: among the sons of men is one
Welcomer than Alfred Tenyson?
