OH that I could contain

OH that I could contain
 
myself as loutish captains
 
boasted their continuance of
 
where about us in scheme-
 
Then pull my shiver from a
 
new packet of lies for only
 
Time can make appointments
 
with newfound lust and
 
only nerves of steel and
 
feet of clay can command
 
respect in the parlor of dwindle.
