’Tis sweet the foe to aggravate + 

With epigrams impertinent, + 

Sweet to behold him obstinate, + 

His butting horns in anger bent, + 

The glass unwittingly inspect + 

And blush to own himself reflect. + 

Sweeter it is, my friends, if he + 

Howl like a dolt: ’tis meant for me! + 

But sweeter still it is to arrange + 

For him an honourable grave, + 

At his pale brow a shot to have, + 

Placed at the customary range; + 

But home his body to despatch + 

Can scarce in sweetness be a match. + 
