Down from the heights Of man

To the depths OF disgrace and sin,
Dawn % a worthless Being,
From the hope of what might
have been.
For the brand OF a beast besottsd
He bar-ered his manhocd's crown;
Through the gate OF u sinful pleas

Ny poor, weak boy went down.
But alas. my hopes all delusion,
Alas for this youth and pride,
Alas! who are afe when danger

another course next season. They

to them for the good they have
done in giving US such desirable
