    My little ‘bout-town gal has gone
    ‘Bout town with powder and blue dye
    On her pale lids....

    the cough is filling me with black,
    and a red powder seeps through my veins....

    And powder horn, and Major Bogan’s face
    Above the fire, in the half-light, plainly said
    There’s naught to kill but the animated dead;
