First Line: While hero-fools of vaguely valiant mind
Last Line: While all his world revolved around himself.
Subject(s): Misers
While hero-fools of vaguely valiant mind
Were struggling manfully the Pole to find,
Right here at home I found the very Pole
In Miser Skinflint's crabbed, arctic soul,
His icy heart all heavy with his pelf,
While all his world revolved around himself.
