More from Matthew Green

  1. Thus I steer my bark, and sail On even keel, with gentle gale.
  2. Avarice, sphincter of the heart.
  3. Fling but a stone, the giant dies.
  4. To cure the mind's wrong bias, Spleen, Some recommend the bowling green; Some, hilly walks; all, exercise; Fling but a stone, the giant die…
