Lines on John Locke Edgar Allan Poe

As for Locke, he is all in my eye,
        May the d——l right soon for his soul call.
He never was known to lie —
        In bed at a reveillé “roll call.”

John Locke was a notable name;
        Joe Locke is a greater; in short,
The former was well known to fame,
        But the latter’s well known “to report.”
