The wonder of wonders

I saw a peacock with a fiery tail,

I saw a blazing comet drop down hail,

I saw a cloud with ivy curled around,

I saw a sturdy oak creep on the ground,

I saw a pismire swallow up a whale,

I saw a raging sea brim full of ale!

I saw a Venice glass sixteen foot deep,

I saw a well full of mens' tears that weep,

I saw their eyes all in a flame of fire,

I saw a horse high as the moon and higher,

I saw the sun at twelve o'clock at night,

I saw the man who saw this wondrous sight!
