When the cut-throat isnt occupied in crime,

And listen to the merry village chime.”

Deep in a sewer dungeon under stone
In fetid darkness still to live and run....”

That such a brook ran water. But I wonder
If from its being kept forever under,
The thoughts may not have risen that so keep
This new-built city from both work and sleep.”
