“Weary with toil, I haste me to my bed,
The dear repose for limbs with travel tired;
But then begins a journey in my head
To work my mind, when body’s work’s expired:”

And huge of head and broad of bustle;
The limbs on which he rolls along
Are big with hippopotomuscle.”

To murmur name upon name,
As a mother names her child
When sleep at last has come
On limbs that had run wild.”
