TREACHEROUS TEXTS
Made it their pride and pleasure
To pass the scallops' measure—
The better scallops' will.
Then perished party passion
When it was understood
That scallops, in good old fashion,
Were not too clever for food.
For the power of scallops is much;
And men will yield at a touch
Of scallops acting as such,
True to their scallophood.
[ 27 ]
