“Thence, flow! conceit and motion to rehearse
Pastoral terrors of youth still in the man,
Torsions of sleep, in emblematic verse
Rattling like dice unless the verse shall scan
All chance away....”

As made us nobly wild, not mad;
And yet each verse of thine
Outdid the meat, outdid the frolic wine.”
