2licks round carved marble chops on snails full-blown
3old corned-beef’s rusty armour spreads disease
4and empty cages show life’s bird has flown
5The roundabout eats profits made on swings
6the North Wind Bites into his architrave
7in salads all chew grubs before they’ve wings
8Etruscan words which Greece and Rome engrave
9Staunch pilgrims longest journeys can’t depress

12With breaking voice across the Alps they slog
13ventriloquists be blowed you strike me dumb
