YORICK'S SKULL by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: POOR JESTER! STILL UPON THE STAGE
Last Line: SANS BRAINS OR TONGUE.
Subject(s): JESTERS;
POOR jester! still upon the stage,
Chap-fallen flung,
Where merry clowns from age to age
Thy dirge have sung;
Yet more than Eloquence may reach,
Thought-heights among:
'T is thine, humanity to teach,
Sans brains or tongue.
