Can his eyes be called an academy Because there are pupils there? In the crown of his head what gems are set? Who travels on the bridge of his nose? Can he use when shingling the roof of his mouth, The nails on the ends of his toes? What does he raise from the slip of his tongue? Who plays on the drum of his ears? And who can tell the cut and style, Of the coat his stomach wears? Can the crook of his elbow be sent to jail ? And if so, what did it do? How does he sharpen his shoulder blades? I’ll be hanged if we know—do you?—Ex. Frenchman translating—“Ich habe ihm dreimal sitzen mussen.” I must have sitten three times. —Ex. The transversal ether oscillations in your in- condiscenser have been discontinued. Transla- tion—Your lights are out!—Ex.
