Ah, Noah, you archaic one Who had a chance to do The world a favor and did not, The world is sore on you.

Two elephants you had and two Of every other Bize And shape and sort, including of Two plain domestic flies. Auspicious moment that was when, If you had had a mind, You might have truly made yourself A friend to all mankind.
