So out I rushed and Bought her far and wid*: But not where Pleasure each new fancy tried, Heading the maze of reeling merriment, Nor where, with restless eyes and brow halfbent, Love in a. brake of swoetbriar smiled and sighed, Nor yet whore Fame towered crowned and glorified Found I her face, nor wberesoe'er I went. So homeward back I crawled like a wounded bird, When, 10-! Content sate spinning at mv door.
