Dr. John Doran


Bright and steady as a sunbeam.	1
Dry as granite.	2
Glittered like dragon-flies.	3
Pure as the stars in yon blue sky.	4
Scarlet as Major Bagstock.	5
Sparkling as Mercutio.	6
Sprang, like the twin fountains of Benasji, from a divided source.	7
Swear like a drunken tapster.	8
Sweet as Anadyomene rising from the sea.	9
As timid, touching and inquiring, as she who charmed the gods from the threshold of Olympus.	10
