Said I to Rapaire, "You are ugly, sirrah!!"
"Both you and the Hawkster would shatter a jar!"
"Your belly and jowls and those wild bloodshot eyes!
Why you look like a bagman, not too well disguised!"

Yon Rapaire he rejoined, "Sir! You are just bemused!
"Your head has been spun by our mythic abuse!
"You're not in your right mind, you babble, instead!
"Go home and come back when you've sorted your head!"

I replied, "You are right sir, my brain's in a spin.
"And you are to blame for the state that it's in!
"But tomorrow, refreshed, I'll be bright as a pin,
"And will see you are both still as ugly as sin!"
