Epigram; In Answer To The Dean's Verses On His Own Deafness [1]
By Jonathan Swift
What though the Dean hears not the knell
Of the next church's passing bell;
What though the thunder from a cloud,
Or that from female tongue more loud,
Alarm not; At the Drapier's ear,
Chink but Wood's halfpence, and he'll hear.
