bondsthe bonds of dreadful pestilence! The ghasty
form of death saked abroad in fearful guise and who
soeverts shadow fell upon doomed Death death!

pure ETHEREAL blue without cloud to cast shadow on
its placid face No sound to be heard as he passed
onward except the startling echoes Of his VIII footballs
