lesson is that the vital consideration is

Down where the purling waters play
And where the ground is wet
He FASTENED to the sylvan spot,
Determined to enthuSe,

To take his ovcrshoes.
Now kindly hands have wrapped him

In blankets warm and rough
And every hour he takes dose

His Mayday task he hates to shirk;
He struggles i'll at ease.
His vocal cords refuse to work:
He can do nauSht but sneeze.
