And gave his arm a most heroic brandish ; 8dS LOVE AND LUNACY. " But no — I'll write " — and here a spoon he clutch'd. And ramm'd it with such fury in the standish, A sable flood, like Niger the outlandish. Came rushing forth — Oh Antics and Buffoons ! Te never danced a caper so ran-dan-dish ; He jump'd, thump'd — tore — swore, more than ten dragoons, At all nights, noons, moons, spoons, and pantaloons ! But soon ashamed, or weary, of such dancing, Without a Collinet's or Weippert's band. His r...ampant arms and legs left off their prancing, And down he sat again, with pen in hand. Not fiddle-headed, or King's-pattern grand. But one of Bramah's patent Caligraphics ; And many a sheet it spoil'd before he plann'd A likely letter. Used to pure seraphics. Philippics sounded strangely after Sapphics. Long while he rock'd like Yankee in his chair. Staring as he would stare the wainscot through, And then he thrust his fingers in his hair. And set his crest up like a cockatoo ; And trampled with his hoofs, a mere Yahoo : At last with many a tragic frown and start, He penn'd a bUlet, very far from doux, 'Twas sour, severe — but think of a man's smart Writing with lunar caustic on his heart !
