Just So

JUST let the Owl of Evil howl!
   To mourners of each rank and station,
I cry, Come troll the Golden Bowl,
   And quaff with me one deep potation!
 
Each sparkling droplet to the soul
   Will yield o’er care a bright ovation;
Then seize and troll the Golden Bowl,
   That beams—in my imagination!
 
1886.
