Turing the heated spell to roll IN eurythmic
waves, AS follows:

lad eyed, Respondent starts to school;
lis heart still yearns for fish in TIE brook,
Must cducate--lt's a wretched rule"
The summer guest with life renewed,
Toes back TO town in best Of health;
The landlords full Of solicitude,
low best 10 place his heavy wealth.
The ice cream man still has show,
The phosphate fend surviveth yet,
FOR trees and books the talk doth Cow,
III eager they to lucre get.
