And cramps up our style as we strain
For cures less dismal

     The dust of Snow from a Hemlock tree
     Has saved some part of a dismal Mood
     That I had on another day....

Can be perceived a threshold loss,
As piteous as piety
When rage of age destroys its gloss
And ends a dismal dynasty....

Are among the slow-witted expected,
But often they mark more intelligent minds,
Making these the more gravely infected....
