THE Lay OF THE LAZY MAN.
Breathes there man with soul SO dead,
Who never to himself hath said
Tomorrow morning / will rise
| Before the sun lights up the skies.
| 'I'il set this clock so it will ring
Before the birds begin to sing;
Its strident bell will me awake,
An early morning walk III take
And when at an ungodly hour
Next morn, the clock with all its power
Made noise enough to stir the dead
And woke the man upon the ped
Who wouldn't chuck it in the street,
And back into the bed then leap,
And with a sigh go off to sleep?
