For collecting time you don't need a subscription. And time doesn't take bribes.

381 · · “As to temper the Jubjub’s a desperate bird,
382 · · · · Since it lives in perpetual passion:
383 · · Its taste in costume is entirely absurd—
384 · · · · It is ages ahead of the fashion:

385 · · “But it knows any friend it has met once before:
386 · · · · It never will look at a bribe:
387 · · And in charity-meetings it stands at the door,
388 · · · · And collects—though it does not subscribe.

389 · · “ Its flavour when cooked is more exquisite far
390 · · · · Than mutton, or oysters, or eggs:
391 · · (Some think it keeps best in an ivory jar,
392 · · · · And some, in mahogany kegs:)

393 · · “You boil it in sawdust: you salt it in glue:
394 · · · · You condense it with locusts and tape:
395 · · Still keeping one principal object in view—
396 · · · · To preserve its symmetrical shape.”
