sounds with the maddening insects ; dark tumbling
frnm their cells they spread the hasty wing, and
shrill whizzing through the air, they rush to tind the

house to ale-house from king to cockney, ali were fierce
for tight. Even the red-nosed porters, where they
met. bending under their burdens, would stop In
but, in the streets, to talk of England's ,,onCS!

throwing their packs to the ground and leaping into
