There lived a Parsee from whose hat the rays of the sun were reflected in more-than-oriental splendour.
There rise her timeless capitals of empires daily born, whose plinths are laid at midnight and whose streets are packed at morn; and here come tired youths and maids that feign to love or sin in tones like rusty razor blades to tunes like smitten tin.
There's a little red-faced man, / Which is Bobs. / Rides the tallest 'orse 'e can - / Our Bobs.
There's a whisper down the field where the year has shot her yield, / And the ricks stand grey to the sun, / Singing: - `Over then, come over, for the bee has quit the clover, / And your English summer's done'.
There's times when you'll think that you mightn't, / There's times when you know that you might; / But the things you will learn from the Yellow and Brown, / They'll 'elp you a lot with the White!

Through the Jungle very softly flits a shadow and a sigh - / He is Fear, O Little Hunter, he is Fear!
Till the Devil whispered behind the leaves, / `It's pretty, but is it Art?'
To the legion of the lost ones, to the cohort of the damned.
