Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Works of Thomas Hood, Vol. 3
With marble-colored shoulders, - and keen eyes, Protected by a forehead broad and white, And hair cut close lest it impede the sight, And clenched hands, firm and of punishing size, Steadily held, or motioned wary-wise, To hit or stop - and kerchief too drawn tight O'er the unyielding loins, to keep from ?ight The inconstant wind, that all too often dies, The Nonpareil stands l - Fame, whose bright eyes With joy to see a Chicken of her own, Dips her rich pen in claret, and writes down Under the letter R, first on the score, Randall - John - Irish parents, age not known Good with both hands, and only ten stone four!
