Drive slumber afar from our bed.

And my third, likewise small, VIII be found
Indispensable still in the house or the barn,
And you'll see it where breakers abound.

The gateway OF heaven to a down-trodden race,
Who dwelt there with all whom they loved.

SO half in earnest, half in jest, speak,
And charge you, when next nom de plume you
