sprawling, and radiating devises, stripe-interspersed, and glorious

wicked invention of a race of time-servers and money-lovers--children
of Baal and worshippers of Mammon--Benthams, who, to spare thought

established joint-stock companies to twirl it by steam.

How the British Regulars fired and fled,--
How the farmers gave them ball for ball,
From behind each fence and farm-yard wall,
Chasing the red-coats down the lane,

Under the trees at the turn of the road,
And only pausing to fire and load.

Of mine eyelids did drink of it, forthwith
Seem'd it unto me turn'd from length to round,
Then as a troop of maskers, when they put
