Classic Poem

Gifted with Gallic gabble and grimace,
Laugh, leer, and lollop, lauding lots of lace,
Orger's odd onset — opportune, outre ,
Pours pungent pepper o'er the pointed play.
Though Cooper's courtships kept continual cheer,
Droll Davison disdains to doubt her dear;
But, blandly bountiful, in blindness blest,
Won't wonder what he wants with widow West .
No gleam of glory gladdens Glover's gloom;
Ripe for revolt, she rambles round the room;
While, wondering what can wake the woman's woe,
Trim Terry treads the traps on tottering toe,
Cross'd and confounded by his cozening Co.
These freaks and frolics — freak without offence —
Pleasing the pit, put poet Poole in pence.
