New England Verses

Lyrics

I The Whole World Including the Speaker Why nag at the ideas of Hercules, Don Don? Widen your sense. All things in the sun are sun. II The Whole World Excluding the Speaker I found between moon-rising and moon-setting The world was round. But not from my begetting. III Soupe Aux Perles Health-o, when ginger and fromage bewitch The vile antithesis of poor and rich. IV Soupe Sans Perles I crossed in '38 in the Western Hеad . It depends which way you crossed, thе tea-belle said. V Boston with a Note-book Lean encyclopaedists, inscribe an Iliad. There's a weltanschauung of the penny pad. VI Boston without a Note-book Let us erect in the Basin a lofty fountain. Suckled on ponds, the spirit craves a watery mountain. VII Artist in Tropic Of Phaebus Apothicaire the first beatitude: Blessed, who is his nation's multitude. VIII Artist in Arctic And of Phaebus the Tailor the second saying goes: Blessed, whose beard is cloak against the snows.
