I GOT a tome to-day, and I was glad to strike it,
Because no other man can ever get one like it.
’ Tis poor, and badly print; its meaning’ s Greek;
But what of that?’ Tis mine, and it’ s unique.
So Bah! to others,
Men and brothers —
Bah! and likewise Pooh!
I’ ve got the best of you.
Go sicken, die, and eke repine.
That book you wanted — Gad! that’ s mine!
