Not illustrated. 1914 edition. Excerpt: ...was nearly bold to say, And falling-sickness hath a happier cure Than our school wots of: there's a spider here Weaves no web, watches on the ledge of tombs, Sprinkled with mottles on an ash-grey back; Take five and drop them... but who knows his mind, The Syrian run-a-gate I trust this to?
