Explore "William Tell" by Harry Graham on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
All persons who, by way of joke, / Point loaded guns at one another, / (A state of things which ends in smoke, / And murder of an aunt or brother,) / Will find that it repays them well / To note the tale of William Tell.
He was a patriotic Swiss, / Whose skill was such with bow and arrow, / He never had been known to miss / A target, howsoever narrow; / His archery could well defy / The needle or the camel's eye.
