...At last, my old inveterate foe,
No opposition shalt thou know.
Since I by struggling, can obtain
Nothing, but encrease of pain,
I will att last, no more do soe,
Tho' I confesse, I have apply'd
Sweet mirth, and musick, and have try'd
A thousand other arts beside,
To drive thee from my darken'd breast,

a swarm of problems;
once there lived
a certain champion of boiled water,
and inveterate enemy of raw water.

Whatever he was not. And after time,
When it had come sufficiently to pass
That he was going patch-clad through the streets,
Weak, dizzy, chilled, and half starved, he had laid

Clot the bedded axle-tree.

Pursue their pattern as before
But reconciled among the stars.
