1. With a repulsive, despicable physique
Of a muddy, dusty, wretched hue

2. With a spine entangled with its neck
And breath exhaled through its snout

3. Narrower than the space for a mim letter
Or a dot between the wings of a jim

4. Neither muscular nor straight
Nor cunning in mischief

5. Does not mix anxiety with slumber
Depressed under the shade of gloom

6. Between the offspring of Abyssinia and Rome
In the shadows of peaks and tangled bushes

7. As if its mind crept through the filth
Or a slumber rising in drowsiness

8. Braver than one with a digestive stomach
Until it climbed atop the heights of glory

9. Wretched is he, a lost and doomed one
