Knox: Absolute and Abitofhell
His Views on Punishment what need to tell?
Poor, proctor'd Victims lately knew them well,
His pregnant Logick ftlPd their only Want,
Temp'ring EZEKIEL with a Dash of KANT.
Hail, dauntless Mariners, that far outstrip
Previous Attempts to undergird the Ship!
To you this Rhyme, now falt'ring to its End,
Is dedicated by an humble Friend,
Praying that Providence this Wind may use
To puff your Sales, and to confound your Views.
R. A. KNOX
THE WISHES OF AN ELDERLY MAN
(At a garden-party, June 1914)
I wish I loved the Human Race;
I wish I loved its silly face;
I wish I liked the way it walks;
I wish I liked the way it talks;
And when I'm introduced to one
I wish I thought What Jolly Fun!
THE BETTER WAY
WALTER RALEIGH
If you desire to paralyze
Your enemy, don't 4 d—n his eyes';
From futile blasphemy desist:
Send him to Blank the oculist.
