Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Adventures of Doctor Comicus or the Frolicks of Fortune: A Comic Satirical Poem for the Squeamish the Queer, in Twelve Cantos Canto the First. "Dreams are but interludes which Fancy makes; Where Monarch reason sleeps, this Mimick wakes Compounds a medley of disjointed things, A court of Coblers, and a mob of Kings." Dryden. The Sun was sinking in the western sky, The shades of eve were softly drawing nigh, The busy scenes of day were nearly o´er, When Trim sat smoking at the alehouse door: In sixty summers´ suns he´d had a share, And like his coat, he looked the worse for wear: ´Twas in the village he received his birth, And oft in youth enjoy´d its harmless mirth: The creeking sign was all the noise he heard, Save now and then the little starling bird, Or weary´d horses that came out to drink, And dash´d their feet upon the river´s brink.
