bear-legg'd

Updated: November 17, 2025

Oh! BEAR me from this savage land of BEARS, For 'tis indeed UNBEARABLE to me: I'd rather cope with vilest worldly cares, Or writhe with cruel sickness of the sea. Oh! BEAR me to my own BEAR land of hills, Where I'd be sure brave BEAR-legg'd lads to see BEAR cakes, BEAR rocks, and whiskey stills, And BEAR-legg'd nymphs, to smile once more on me.
