    His talk was like a stream which runs
    With rapid change from rock to roses;
    It slipped from politics to puns;
    It passed from Mahomet to Moses;
    Beginning with the laws that keep
    The planets in the radiant courses,
    And ending with some precept deep
    For dressing eels or shoeing horses.
