00:00:02.050 --> 00:00:06.080 align:middle line:84%
I'm going to sneak one more poem
in here before the last poem.

00:00:06.080 --> 00:00:08.240 align:middle line:84%
So we talked quite a bit
today about Jack Johnson

00:00:08.240 --> 00:00:10.670 align:middle line:84%
and Shakespeare, so I'm
going to read a poem where

00:00:10.670 --> 00:00:12.090 align:middle line:90%
that comes into play.

00:00:12.090 --> 00:00:13.940 align:middle line:84%
So this is called
"Gold Smile" and it's

00:00:13.940 --> 00:00:17.060 align:middle line:90%
got an epigraph from Henry VI.

00:00:17.060 --> 00:00:18.770 align:middle line:84%
"Teeth hadst thou
in thy head when

00:00:18.770 --> 00:00:21.785 align:middle line:84%
thoust was born to signify
thou camest to bite the world."

00:00:21.785 --> 00:00:24.830 align:middle line:90%


00:00:24.830 --> 00:00:26.990 align:middle line:90%
"Gold Smile."

00:00:26.990 --> 00:00:29.810 align:middle line:84%
They called teeth
dent in France,

00:00:29.810 --> 00:00:31.550 align:middle line:84%
and the name makes
sense the way teeth do

00:00:31.550 --> 00:00:34.580 align:middle line:84%
what they do to bacon
and shoulders and cakes.

00:00:34.580 --> 00:00:37.820 align:middle line:84%
The French word for gold is
or, so when the folks in Paris

00:00:37.820 --> 00:00:39.560 align:middle line:84%
describe my smile,
it sounds like what

00:00:39.560 --> 00:00:41.360 align:middle line:90%
happens when I punch a door.

00:00:41.360 --> 00:00:43.040 align:middle line:90%
Dents d'or.

00:00:43.040 --> 00:00:46.010 align:middle line:84%
Dents d'or, the French
children say when I open wide.

00:00:46.010 --> 00:00:48.170 align:middle line:84%
Dents d'or, Etta says
when she locks herself

00:00:48.170 --> 00:00:49.220 align:middle line:90%
in the powder room.

00:00:49.220 --> 00:00:51.560 align:middle line:84%
Tommy Burns said dents d'or
when I was hooking him in

00:00:51.560 --> 00:00:53.060 align:middle line:90%
to ask him for forgiveness.

00:00:53.060 --> 00:00:56.270 align:middle line:84%
His people back in Canada would
have said the exact same thing

00:00:56.270 --> 00:00:58.760 align:middle line:84%
if they were in Sydney
to witness our spectacle.

00:00:58.760 --> 00:01:02.150 align:middle line:84%
Before we got into the ring,
I told Tommy, the only reason

00:01:02.150 --> 00:01:04.760 align:middle line:84%
I got these gold uppers is
to make every bite of my food

00:01:04.760 --> 00:01:08.020 align:middle line:84%
twice as expensive
as it used to be.

00:01:08.020 --> 00:01:09.000 align:middle line:90%
