PSHAW, away with leaf and berry, And the sober-sided cup! Bring a goblet, and bright sherry, And a bumper fill me up! Though a pledge I had to shiver, And the longest ever was! Ere his vessel leaves our river, I would drink a health to Boz: Here's success to all his antics, Since it pleases him to roam, And to paddle o'er Atlantics, After such a @3sale@1 at home!

And each shallow sand that lurks, And his passage be as clever As the best among his works. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...BABY BELL by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH THE SOUL'S EXPRESSION by ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING ADDRESS TO THE UNCO GUID, OR THE RIGIDLY RIGHTEOUS by ROBERT BURNS A DEATH SONG by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR THE PHANTOM KISS by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR CEREMONIAL ODE; INTENDED FOR A UNIVERSITY by LASCELLES ABERCROMBIE |
