Explore "The Scarlet Gown: THE BANISHED BEJANT FROM THE UNPUBLISHED REMAINS OF EDGAR ALLAN POE" by Robert Fuller Murray on Textopian.
In youth with diligence he toiled / A Roman nose to gain, / But though a decent pug was spoiled, / A pug it did remain.
In the oldest of our alleys, / By good bejants tenanted, / Once a man whose name was Wallace -- / William Wallace -- reared his head. / Rowdy Bejant in the college / He was styled: / Never had these halls of knowledge / Welcomed waster half so wild!
