he was a man OF giant frame
And muscles wrought OF steeo
Antpus, Atlas, Hercules
Did ne'er such strength reveal
He could uproot a giant oak
With little strain or fuss,
Hold out In either hand full
Grown hippopotamus.
He'd climb the Dhawalagert,
And on his shoulders bear
A tierce or two of good old rye
And never sweat hair.
He'd swan across the sea and towea
A frigate In his wake,
He could, when healthy, tear in shreds
A hotel Girloin steak.
And yet, poor man, he met one day
A task that took his life,
He grew DER confident and went
