    Resolution thus fubbed with the rusty curb of old father antic the law.

    And fighting was not his trade;
    But his rusty pike’s in the cabin still,
    With Hessian blood on the blade.”

    as if in a fog of feather-light
    goosedown-silvery seed-thoughts
    a rusty mind in its autumn
    reviewed, renewed
    its winged power.
