And my tears, make a heavenly Lethean flood,
And drown in it my sins’ black memory.

I think it mercy, if thou wilt forget.”

Golden Glamorgan straightens, to the falling birds.
Your sport is summer as the spring runs angrily.”

and no butcher shop. This could be taken
as a matter of all form and no content.”
