From broken visions of perturbed rest

    Of tche noise

    Of revel reeling  cups.

    And interrupted only by a cough

    Consumptive, torturing ted lungs.

    So in tterness of death he lies,

    And s in anguis.

    And little images of pleasures past,

    Of ive life-- yet slain,

    Nor ther grace of life, a good name, sold

    For sins black wages. On edious bed

    Some fehere an end.

    Lolling, like one indifferent, fabricates

    A heave of gold, where he, and such as he,

    From damned spirits, and torturing cries

    Of men, h,
