‘A sailor named Grice was seen by the guard of a goods train lying / close to the railway-line near Warner Town (S. A.) in a nude / condition. He was unconscious, and had lain there three days, / during one of which the glass registed 110 in the shade. _Grice / expressed surprise that the train did not pick him up._' -- Daily / paper. In consequence, the muse: --
He was bare -- we don't want to be rude -- / (His condition was owing to drink) / They say his condition was nood, / Which amounts to the same thing, we think / (We mean his _condition_, we think, / 'Twas a naked condition, or _nood_, / Which amounts to the same thing, we think)
