Into the leahess lane;
His pleasant minstrelsy began; nj
Torrents Of music riot ran 80
Across the haze girt plain;
He flung the fields new liveries v
And green slashed doublets to the t9ees,
Then, STOPPING, from lily bowl !
Drank Of the sweetness of her soul 81
And madly sprang away.
In marshes and moist meadows ne
Sundered the stately aeurs- de-lis;
Kingcups in gilt array
He tossed amid the tasseled reeds
Quiy'ring and bent with crystal beads.
And ever in his thoughtless fight
About him danced in yestures bright
His nlinion BUTTERFLIES
His plumber was the rose hid dew,
Rose leaves the largesse that he threw
At random to the skies,
Nor ceased he till he havoc made
Amid the jasnine's starry braid.
So was his rich inhsritsace
Ruined and lost With swift advance
And stern in russell gown
Came autumn, of the spendthrift youth
By bitter bonds devoid of ruth,
Demanding summers crown.
Here from the corralled yews alone
The robins mourn his broken throne.
