"All-Aloney!"
Though his legs bend with their load,
Though his feet they seem so small
That you cannot help forebode

Little All-Aloney fears,
But with sweet bravado steers
Whither comes that cheery call:

When his feet are chill and numb,
When his cross is burdensome,
And his heart is sore:

...ll bloody from its Breast
He draws, and does his stroke detest;
Fearing the Flesh untimely mow'd
To him a Fate as black forebode.
But bloody Thestylis, that waites
To bring the mowing Camp their Cates,
Greedy as Kites has trust it up,
And forthwith means on it to sup:
When on another quick She lights,
And cryes, he call'd us Israelites;
But now, to make his saying true,
Rails rain for Quails, for Manna Dew.
Unhappy Birds! what does it boot
To build below the Grasses Root;
