Charles Stuart Calverley

Artless, as Eve yet unbeguiled.

Blubbering like a seal.

Brainless as chimpanzees.

Brisk as bees that settle on a summer rose’s petal.

Slowly disappearing, like a day dream.

Flash like a rocket.

Fleet is his foot as the wild roe-buck’s.

A maiden’s heart is as champagne, ever struggling upward.

Prattled like a babbling brook.

Regal as Juno.

Rosy as pinks.

Straight as a beadle’s wand.

Yellow, like April bees.
