Dear, and very dear relation,
Time, who flies without cessation,-
Who ne'er allows procrastination,-
Who never yields to recubation
Nor ever stop for respiration,
Has brought again in round rotation
The once a yearly celebration
Of the day of thy creation,-
(To Miss Lear on her Birthday by Edward Lear)
