00:00 A REBUS BY VANESSA
by Jonathan Swift

00:08 Cut the name of the man who his mistress denied,
And let the first of it be only applied
To join with the prophet who David did chide;
Then say what a horse is that runs very fast;
00:25 And that which deserves to be first put the last;
Spell all then, and put them together, to find
The name and the virtues of him I design'd.
00:38 Like the patriarch in Egypt, he's versed in the state;
Like the prophet in Jewry, he's free with the great;
Like a racer he flies, to succour with speed,
When his friends want his aid, or desert is in need.
