English poem
Iv
by Edward Carpenter (1844–1929)
Walk up! walk up! There’s plenty more to see By this said sun’s rays--simple and sublime. The world’s a show which is, you’ll all agree, The greatest ever advertised in rhyme,-- We’ve had the management of it some time And can explain it fully;--and to-day ’Tis not too much to say ’tis in its prime; Admission free--that is, if you obey Our fatherly direction, there is nought to pay.
