Living
Stop, Stop, Friend Cogan! Would You Throw
From Works and Life, ed. Forster, vol. VIII (1876)
Living
Stop, stop, friend Cogan! would you throw
That tooth away? You little know
Its future: that which now you see
A sinner's, an old saint's may be,
And popes may bless it in a ring
To charm the conscience of some king.
