A great nose may be an index
of a great soul - kind, endowed
with liberality and courage...
like mine, you rat-brained dunce
unlike yours, all rancid porridge.
your wretched mug...
so lacking as it is...
in pride, genius
the lyrical and picturesque
in spark, spunk, in brief: in nose.
So take a boot instead to your backside
Help! Call the Guard!
A warning...
to you who find my countenance
a source of sport.
Be you noble, my swift response
is different altogether.
I strike with steel... and not leather!
He's a bit of a bore.
A braggart.
Who shall it be, gentlemen?
Nobody? Wait, you can leave it to me.
You...
That thing of yours...
is...
very big.
Very.
That's all?
Yes.
Nothing more? There are fifty score
varieties of comment. Nay, more.
Just change the tone. For example:
Aggressive:
"A nose in such a stateI'd amputate."
Friendly:
"It must dip in your cupYou need a crane to hoist it up."
Descriptive:
"A rock, a bluff, a cape!""No, a peninsula in size and shape!"
Curious:
"What is that oblong?"A writing desk or am I wrong?"
Gracious:
"Are you food of birds?for them..."
"to rest their feet."
Truculent:
"A smoker? I suppose..."The fumes gush out from that nose
like a chimney on fire."
Kind:
"It will drag you in the mirehead-first with its weight."
Tender:
"I'll have an umbrella madeto give it some summer shade."
Pedant:
"The beast of Aristophanesthe hippocampocamalelephunt..."
"had flesh and bone like that up front"
Drama:
"It bleeds like the Red Sea."Impressed:
"What a sign for a perfumery."
Lyric:
"Ah, Triton rising from the waters."
"How much to view the monument?"
Warlike:
"Train it on the cavalry!"Practical:
"Put that in a lotteryfor noses and it'll be first prize."
And finally, with sighs and cries...
"O that this too too..."
"solid nose would melt."
That is what you could have said
or had an ounce of wit in your head.
But you've no letters
save the three
required to describe you: S.O.T.
Had you the wit required...
a dish of words...
so proud...
not a phrase
would have passed your lips.
For although the words may fit
I'd never let you get away with it.
Valvert, leave him!
Arrogant, base nonentity
without even a pair of gloves
let alone the ribbons and lace
a noble loves!
My elegance is interior.
I do not go out feeling inferior
from an insult...
which on the exterior
leaves its mark of warning
in libel and scruples in mourning.
I step out...
smelling of scrubbed liberty
and polished independence. Come see!
Let him be!
About gloves, you have me there.
