EUREKA by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: I LOVE, AS WHEN A BOY
Last Line: "COME SEE WHAT I HAVE DONE."

I love, as when a boy,
That note exultant of domestic joy,
When, triumph won,
The Hen, like Archimedes, proclaims,
"I've found it! If ye doubt me,
Dons and Dames,
Come @3see@1 what I have done."
