Boys and girls, of those who rateAll things true if we believe them,Knocking at your fancy’s gate,Here are giants; pray receive them:Friendly folk from every clime,With an honest glee about them;(Ah, the once-upon-a-time!—What would it have been without them?)Shambling fellows gray and old,Mighty men of mighty merit;Giants from the frost and cold,And the land which we inherit:Boys and girls, we bid you harkWhile this genial host we rally;—Mad ones, glad ones laugh and lark;Big as fancied, true to tally.
