Fails to rouse the

Whether swift bird aloft or fleeting hind,
Whether equipped with scales or sharpened claws,
What ardent Fury in her pincers' jaws
Gripped your hearts, so poisoned the mind,

Into your own entrails your own blade bores?

Of certain ships, how they sail from port with flying streamers and

Of the solemn and murky mystery about the fate of the President,
Of the flower of the marine science of fifty generations founder'd

But neither long abode;
Now through the

And sigh upon the road.

Free gamesome horses, antelopes,
And harmless leaping leopards,
And
buffaloes
upon the slopes,
And sheep unruled by shepherds:
Hares, lizards, hedgehogs, badgers, mice,
Snakes, squirrels, frogs, and butterflies.

And then with sonnets and with sympathy
My dreamy bosom's mystic woes I pall;
Now of my false friend
plaining
plaintively,
Now raving at mankind in general;
But, whether sad or fierce, 'tis simple all,
All very simple, meek Simplicity!

man in terror from his throne, Guildenstern and
Rosencrantz see no more in his conduct than a rather painful breach of
Court etiquette.
