YOUR Captain Hanniball does snort and puff, Arm'd in his brazen-face, and greazy buff 'Mongst Puncks and Pandars, and can rant, and roar, With Cacala the Turd, and his poor whore. But I would wish his valour not mistake us, All Captains are not like his Brother Dacus; Advise him then be quiet; or I shall Bring Captain Hough to bait your Hanniball. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ALL ARMIES ARE THE SAME by ERNEST HEMINGWAY ABSENT WITH OFFICIAL LEAVE by RANDALL JARRELL PORT OF EMBARKATION by RANDALL JARRELL THE CONFESSION OF ST.
