Heart-Springs
My heart’s wound up just like a watch,
As far as springs will take—
It wants but one more evil turn,
And then the cords will break.
Change of Ministry
As human fashions change about,
The reign of Fools should now begin,
For when the Wigs are going out
The Naturals are coming in.
A Pig in a Poke
A Lord bought of late an outlandish estate,
At its Wild Boars to Chevy and dig;
So some people purchase a pig in a poke,
And others, a poke in a pig.
