To A Little Man With A Very Large Beard, by Isaac Ben Khalif
TO A LITTLE MAN WITH A VERY LARGE BEARD.
BY ISAAC BEN KHALIF.
HOW can thy chin that burden bear?
Is it all gravity to shock?
Is it to make the people stare,
And be thyself a laughing-stock?
Is it all gravity to shock?
Is it to make the people stare,
And be thyself a laughing-stock?
When I behold thy little feet
After thy beard obsequious run,
I always fancy that I meet
Some father followed by his son.
A man like thee scarce e’er appeared;
A beard like thine, where shall we find it?
Surely thou cherishest thy beard,
In hopes to hide thyself behind it!
