noon
Now there were holy birds in the temple of Chu-bu , and when the third day was come and the night thereof , it was as it were revealed to the mind of Chu-bu , that there was dirt upon the head of Sheemish . And Chu-bu spake unto Sheemish as speak the gods , moving no lips nor yet disturbing the silence , saying , `` There is dirt upon thy head , O Sheemish . '' All night long he muttered again and again , `` there is dirt upon Sheemish 's head . '' And when it was dawn and voices were heard far off , Chu-bu became exultant with Earth 's awakening things , and cried out till the sun was high , `` Dirt , dirt , dirt , upon the head of Sheemish , '' and at noon he said , `` So Sheemish would be a god . '' Thus was Sheemish confounded . And with Tuesday one came and washed his head with rose-water , and he was worshipped again when they sang `` There is also Sheemish . '' And yet was Chu-bu content , for he said , `` The head of Sheemish has been defiled , '' and again , `` His head was defiled , it is enough . ''
