(Iambic pentameter) (iambic tetrameter) (iambic trimeter)


My mother bore me in the southern wild,


Like Honus Wagner or like Tyrus Cobb.

Is this a holy thing to see,


'Tis morning; and the sun with ruddy orb


The wind blew high,
the waters raved,


It powders all the Wood.


Nor for itself hath any care,
