Poems with rhymes of fence

My lusts usurp the present tense
And strangle Reason in his seat.
My loves leap through the future’s fence

As when a single Soul does fence
The Batteries of alluring Sense,

at the neighbors fence
he sits and dispense

O Mercury, assist my lab'ring sense
That round the circle of the world would fly,
As the wing'd eagle scorns the tow'ry fence

Brown he come onc't and leant over the fence,
And told Smith that he couldn't see any sense

At the hands of her statesmen of sense
Is the law that makes meat of the liars
That can sit a rough buck - on the fence!

He tied that bridle to the fence
The morning of inauguration;
John Davis saw him do it; whence

Such vaunted measures as Defence
Won't build a single dog-leg fence.

Beside the gate the goat would wait with woefulness intense;
Until one day it chanced that they were fast becoming spooney,
When Shamus spied that ould red shawl a-flutter on the fence.

They all climbed up on a high board-fence--
Nine little Goblins, with green-glass eyes--
Nine little Goblins that had no sense,

Breäk me a bit o' the esh for his 'eäd, lad, out o' the fence!
Gentleman burn! what's gentleman burn? is it shillins an' pence?

'An' them rabbits was cheap - you might think I was dense,
But I couldn't deny they was cheap.
So still they come in through th egaps in the fence

What's dat stan'in' by de fence?
Pshaw! why don't I lu'n some sense?

I wander to the zigzag-cornered fence
Where sassafras, intrenched in brambles dense,

You steal a chicken off a fence
With wrath the pious shake,
Although you say with eloquence

Are the pikers as wild and the scrubs just as dense
In the brigalow country as when
There was never a homestead and never a fence

The bright-peeled osiers on the sunny fence,
The pent sow grunts to hear him stumping by,
And tries to push the bolt and scamper thence,

Upon seeing our friend, our foes put up their defense
Where is a dead lantern, & the candle of the sun whence?
My eye-liner is the dust of your door and fence

Tugs at the heart-strings, numbs the sense,
And hems in life with narrowing fence.

But as he spoke a boozy steer approached with speed intense
And helped McGinty over to the safe side of the fence.
