THE Stacker BARD

TWAS pretty soft for 0. Khayyam,
Who loafed about the whole day throug
And never gave tinker's dam
About the things he ought to do.
His verse, his wine, his bread and thou
We're all the poor old dotard needed,
And he would frequently allow
That all men ought to do as he did.
A ND youths Of every age and time
Have quoted Omar as their backing
And made his idle, tifling rhyme
A weapon to defend their Stacking.
His song Is flung from every tongue
And beloved forth from lungs Of leather,
His sony sOphistries are sung
Wherever ale-hounds get together.
