I Hate the dreadful hollow behind the little wood, Its lips in the field above are dabbled with bloodred heath, The red-ribb'd ledges drip with a silent horror of blood, And Echo there, whatever is ask'd her, answers 'Death.' B For there in the ghastly pit long Bince a body was found, His who had given me life--0 father! 0 God! was it well?--Mangled, and flatten'd, and crush'd, and dinted into the ground: There yet lies the rock that fell with him when he fell. Did he fling himself down? who knows 1 for a vast speculation had fail'd, And ever he mutter'd and madden'd, and ever wann'd with despair, And out he walk'd when the wind like a broken worldling wail'd, And the flying gold of the ruin'd woodlands drove thro' the air.

But these are the days of advance, the works of the men of mind, When who but a fool would have faith in a tradesman's ware or his word 1 Is it peace or war? Civil war, as I think, and that of a kind The viler, as underhand, not openly...
