First Line: T-m punsibi gave us his art
Last Line: And in the tenters too long stretched.
Subject(s): Sheridan, Thomas (1687-1738)
T-m Punsibi gave us his Art,
With wit and humour played his part;
With serious air he recommends
The Art of Punning to his friends,
Such as no irony could see,
Were sure that puns like f -- ts are free.
They strain their wits, all hazards run,
To be delivered of a pun,
That commonly is too farfetched
And in the tenters too long stretched.
