Falling forward one minute, lying down the next
Among the loose grasses and soft, white, nameless flowers.”

And therto brood, as though it were a spade.
Upon the cop right of his nose he hade
A werte, and theron stood a toft of herys
Reed as the brustles of a sowes erys.
His nosethirles blake were and wyde.”
